Geoff and I (but mostly Geoff) worked on a new banner for the Etsy shop this weekend. This handkerchief, purchased at Southworks in Cambridge, is apparently my muse. It features the most vibrant, beautiful colours. I love it.
It took me some time to fully explain to Geoff what I wanted in a font; the font I had in mind all along, however, was the iconic Penguin Books font, Gill Sans.
Now if only I had some new things to put in the shop! More on that later, I hope.
Hmm, I see that he uses Futura (with more kerning). I had initially thought to go with Futura. Geoff looked it up and told me that Futura is German -- Gill Sans was the English version of it. As soon as we saw that it was the Penguin Books font, we went with Gill Sans.
This so reminds me of the font Wes Anderson always uses in his films. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think you're right! They are similar.
