Squared gothic

This one is gothic but it also has something that looks
German. The stroke is very thick and the curves are 
squared. It seems to be build with flat panels.


Outstanding letters

These letters seem to be written with a quill. They are
quite ornamental and complex.


Beständigkeit im Wechfel

Another example of gothic font. It looks quite old and
it reminds of the ancient books written by hand.


Gothic typography

Although this one is made with little squares it has the
characteristics that a normal gothic font would have. 
It looks really similar.

Lego X high

This letter is made out of Lego pieces and it could be
a real Sans Serif typography.


Selling ice-cream

In some stores there is also used this type to call the
attention of the possible customers.


Pixel instructions

In the metro there are simple instructions written in
pixel letters. These typographies are very related to
machines and to technology. 


Green pharmacy

Pharmacies also use this typographies a lot. They are
very useful when you are looking for something important
like a pharmacy because it stands out.


Credit 0,00

In the small screens of public telephones it is also a 
pixel type. Here we can see the squared dots of each
letter. 


Lottery booth

I found this type in a lottery booth. In all these pixel typographies
 we can see the dots that create the letters.


Café into pharmacy

In some cafés we can find this kind of typographies because
with a short space you can write and say many things. Another
good point about these is that they catch our attention because
it is constantly moving.


Dad's car

This type reminds of the old fashioned models of cars
that had their name written with this kind of letters.


Retro hotel

This typography has a tall 'x' high and it has a lot of contrast
between the thicks and thins.

American College

These letters have an old school american look like the
ones that universities used in their t-shirts and jackets. 


Letterpress

This typography is like the antique types made with old
printing machines with metal or wooden types. These
typographies used to have some printing problems as we
can see here in the letter 'R'.


Saturday Night Fever

This type from a poster reminds of the disco times because
of the shape and the colors. 


Typewriter

This type is from an old typewriter. Is monospaced because
all the letters have the same width.

Retro Chocolate

This type was used on an antique chocolate advertisement.
It has beautiful curves, is very rounded and it seems that
it has nature inspiration.


Doormats

Many shops have their name written on the entrance doormats.
The Massimo Dutti typography is classic and elegant, it looks
like it's been handwritten.

Pantene new design

Pantene integrates a peculiar shape between its typography
that looks like hair in its new design. They have maintained the
same type but the other elements that surround the logo have
become more simple and accurate. 


Tropical Africa

Cola Cao chose a bold, colorful and striking type for their
 brand. The colors are very contrasted and the whole
image is quite funny and have a young appearance. 


Doves fly

I especially like Dove typography because it reminds of
a flying bird. It seems that the type is floating and it has
beautiful lines. It's very elegant. 


Nestlé cares about lower case letters

Nestlé typography uses that upper line to 'protect' the 
lower case letters as well as an accent for the e. This 
is related with the kind of products they made, especially
the ones directed to small children.

From the inside

We can find Sans Serif typographies on the tiny pieces of our
computers. It seems these types work better in small sizes than
the Serif ones.

Back in time

Even in old stone inscriptions the typography is Sans Serif. 


Book covers

One of the most sold books this season has on its cover another
Sans Serif typography. Maybe it's because these typographies are
more modern and they are more in touch with new technologies.

Milton Glaser using Sans Serif

The first example of sans serif typographies in my environment.
Milton Glaser was right, Apple computers are to design as microwaves
are to cooking.
