Typecast
| 10.27.2005
Everyone does it...don't deny it....People love to people watch people and make assumptions and decisions about their character without even getting to know them first. That lady's cool cause she's wearing the newest Lucky-brand jeans OR that guy's a dirt bag...just look at his bad hair and cheap Aldo shoes OR those guys over in Starbucks must be "creative" drinking all those fancy machiatos OR why do some people break up their taco shells into little pieces and then put all the fixin's on top OR you get the point! What about Movie Stars? They're a bit easier as the all are typecast in their own ways...Arnold schwarzenegger is always in action movies (or should be), Sean Penn loves to play "troubled" characters and Ben Affleck always sucks! The point is that we all have typecasts for people, actors, places, cars, restaurants, etc. Typefaces also have a typecase, literally! A typeface helps establish the mood and purpose of what it's helping to communicate. Whether is be a wedding invitation, retro 50s or gothic, type is a powerful "visual shorthand" to make us perceive a certain way.
Try your skill at matching each letter to the following description below. Then turn your monitor upside down to see which ones you got right. Get them all right on the first guess and breakfast is on me at the Deluxe Town Diner in Watertown. Best fricken pancakes on the earth! Special Thanks to @issue.
