Display + Decorative Typefaces & Lettering Too — Time to Display

In the decorative and display typeface world, it seems that size really does matter; even if it looks perfect on the screen, you still cannot be sure that this perfection will pertain when it is enlarged and it may jar somewhat when put side by side with different kinds of typeface. Designers need to pair them with all other types, and in different sizes, just to make sure they will make a perfect pair no matter what size they are in.
In this issue, we have gathered 34 contributors with extensive experience of making decorative and display type, and who have been generous enough to share their tips with us.

ALL THE FUN OF THE FESTIVAL

Whether the identity is designed for an exhibition, a festival or a concert, even if the event itself only lasts for a few days, the ID should be extremely powerful. It should appear on every possible platform and clearly state the theme and context of the event. It needs clearly to show all the necessary information — date, venue address, line-ups — through stunning visuals that could present the theme of the event. And the ID systems should work across various platforms, be they digital such as apps, web, TV or physical — such as posters and leaflets. The visuals must carry a “wow!” effect, to attract potential audiences and as many participants as possible.

In this issue, we feature more than 40 designers who are all experts on design identity for festivals and events and they have been kind enough to share their thoughts and tips with you.
