From Helvetica to Haas Unica (1980)
Over a year ago, I posted the fifteen-page document outlining Team 77’s venture to audit and improve the Helvetica typeface. Somewhere over the past six months or so, I let my Flickr image permissions get out of whack, making the set unreachable. Some of you had wanted me to post here when I got everything straightened out. Now, I am happy to say that everything is back to normal and the set is available for your typophile viewing pleasure!
Motion & Audio Experiments — Some very creative typography applications here.
A small showreel showcasing a few experiments with motion effects and a dark, distorted synchronized audio soundtrack. This piece consists of scraps and pieces from random animations, but the soundtrack really makes it work as a whole. Please do turn up the volume for this one.
Neue Frutiger is a rethink of the 1977 Frutiger family, now revised and improved by Akira Kobayashi in close collaboration with Adrian Frutiger. Despite the various changes, this “New Frutiger” still fits perfectly with the original Frutiger family, and serves to harmoniously enhance the weights and styles already in existence. (via gesteves)
