Playbill
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another.
字体介绍:
这些图形是基于所谓的木版画而设计,一种通过在西部通缉令上使用而流行起来的风格。Adrian Frutiger的Westside与该字体相似。
Playbill让人联想到狂野西部的粗糙与敏捷,其充满活力的外形是标题的理想之选。它的样式是Italienne字体,因为衬线比笔画粗。
Playbill font was designed by Robert Harling in 1938 and the font first appeared with the foundry Stephenson Blake.
The figures are based on those of the so-called woodtypes, a style made popular through use on wanted posters in westerns. Adrian Frutiger's Westside is a similar font.
Playbill is as rough and ready as the Wild West of which it is reminiscent and its robust figures are a particularly good choice for headlines. Its style is that of the Italienne typefaces due to serifs which are thicker than the strokes.
