Custom font design a branding hero.
Over the years we’ve published several collections of our favorite customer designed fonts. Our collections skirt the weird and wonderful, celebrating those who push the envelope of typography. And whilst I love the creativity of this brand design work, there’s a hard working, functional aspect to these typefaces.
Unique visual properties are visual elements of your brand identity that position your brand and its strategy in the hearts and minds of your target market, but just as importantly, achieve that through fresh and unique visual language. Too many visual identities utilize the same small handful of type styles, leaving the door open for brands to create remarkable and distinctive typefaces that reflect their unique brand proposition and personality. In my 30 years of creating brands I’ve seen the number of fonts available explode from a total of 300 fonts to an almost infinate array to choose from. However, for those that truly stand out as distinctive, brands need to look at custom designed, hand crafted solutions. And whilst not for every brand, the principle behind these unlikely types should act as inspiration to seek a more unique brand visual language.
