Toad Road, a small clothing boutique in Albuquerque, New Mexico, wanted a fresh and sexy campaign to catch some eyes. For the typeface, we wanted something thin and tall, as well as contemporary.

Simply scaling them down doesn’t work: They don’t match the lowercase in weight anymore. This is especially distracting in a calligraphic design such as Ondine.

As for Grotsec Headline, I wish that I refined the leading and tracking a bit more. That’s of course looking at it with fresh eyes now. :) Post a comment Name Email – will not be published Website Your response Submit Comment More Grotzec in use Manoel de Oliveira’s Grande Plano retrospective2015And AtelierContributed by Feliciano Type Staff Pick GV (Google Ventures) website2023Synchronized StudioMoniker SFContributed by Synchronized Studio Staff Pick ’feldy Community Centre signage2023PolytechnicContributed by Polytechnic Staff Pick Sponsor More in Retail/Shopping Plantae2020DesistoMargarida BorgesContributed by Nikolas Wrobel Staff Pick “Believe” sign at Macy’s in Herald SquarePhoto(s) by Nick Sherman on Flickr.

Florian,
Thanks for the feedback. The logo was out of my control, unfortunately. I’ll take your suggestion and pitch it to the owner, however.
As for Grotsec Headline, I wish that I refined the leading and tracking a bit more. That’s of course looking at it with fresh eyes now. :)
