Logo Of the Week: Wild Type Gear
Logo feature for this week comes from one of my favorite type designers, Jos Buivenga. It reminds me a bit of the Underware font Bello Script, which I also love. Jos created the logo for his little T-shirt project, Wild Type Gear. Great job. This is definitely saved to my logo reference library.

My Favorite Font: Aeronaut
Monday’s Favorite Font is Aeronaut by FaceType. This font has that classic German gothic look, with a refreshing flare. Aeronaut breathes new life into the deep dark world of gothic fonts. And let me say, it’s hard to make these kinds of fonts feel new and different. Moderately priced at MyFonts.com. Definitely an amazing addition to any collection.
