New from insigne: Blue Goblet Christmas

insigne™ is pleased to present new Christmas ornaments as the latest in the Blue Goblet series --a series of fonts and ornaments by artist Cory Godbey. This best-selling series has now been extended to include a new Christmas-themed member. Hand drawn by the artist, the Blue Goblet additions are a fun and lively take on Christmas ornaments. Expressive and spontaneous, these ornaments seem to dance their way across the page. They can be used in conjunction with the original Blue Goblet Ornaments and the Blue Goblet fonts, which include both a sans serif and serif member. Combine them to form interesting compositions, or insert them directly into your layout as chapter headings or illustrations. There are over 60 of the Christmas-themed ornaments, including Christmas trees, bows, ivy and more. Check out the .pdf or the promotional graphics to see all of these great options. 20% off for a limited time!

New from insigne: Sommet Slab Rounded

Sommet Slab is the latest in the Sommet series, designed as a slab serif companion to Sommet Rounded. The typeface features slightly wider counters to accommodate the serifs and this more generous whitespace allows the typeface to display well on-screen and as a webfont. Rounded serifs give the face more warmth than the original Sommet Slab, which is strong, rigid and technical. Sommet Slab Rounded’s serifs are not just blunted, but slightly obliqued, giving the face dynamic forward momentum. This geometric typeface is based on bold and clean rounded rectangles. It’s soft and friendly look lends itself to a number of applications. It would be a fine choice for tech company logotypes, magazine headlines and can be used for body copy.  The typeface family also includes some alternate titling forms. These alternates can be accessed by activating OpenType features and style sets. In order to use these OpenType features, you will need a program with advanced typography capabilities...

Aviano Serif in Thor

I was pleasantly surprised to see Aviano Serif in the Thor end credits. There is a very cool space flyby that ends with Aviano Serif, just before the Post-End Credit Teaser. Screenshots below. Flyby Thor in Aviano Serif. Too bad they didn't use it for the posters. I want to expand my " Movie posters featuring Aviano " collection. The movie was surprisingly good; the teasers looked pretty stupid, but I wanted to see this after watching Captain America. 3.75/5 stars

New from insigne: Pauline Didone

An Art Deco and script inspired typeface for “modern” times, Pauline Didone is a full type family with a unique and flavorful design. It has a sense of femininity and naïveté that comes from its predecessor, Pauline . It’s a typeface useful for short bits of copy, logotypes and interesting titling. This typeface family of 10 different fonts includes 5 weights and their italics and a wide range of OpenType alternates. The original Pauline was inspired by and has a strong influence from retro scripts. The typeface is geometric, formed with deliberate contrasting brush strokes and a ostentatious flair. Pauline Didone's high contrast strokes give it a very interesting look that is up to date with latest design trends and very useful for today's design environment. Pauline Didone pairs nicely with the original sans-serif Pauline. The typeface family also includes a full array of alternate forms, including over 150 alternate characters. These alternates can be accessed by acti...
