Image 1 - Beer Poster: Lordish & Avenir Next®
For this beer advertisement, Simon chose Lordish & Avenir® Next to show how two very different typefaces can work well together. The song and powerful blackletter characters of Lordish command attention as a title/header. Avenir® Next sits well as a secondary typeface displaying details and smaller text while still being readable.

Image 2 - Postcard: Ariestha & Nimbus Sans™
This postcard design uses a mix of the fun and retro feel from Ariestha along with the easy to read characters of Nimbus Sans™ showing how scripts and sans serif fonts can be blended into one graphic. The swash characters of Ariestha really add to the retro style of the artwork.

Image 3 - Business Cards: Dobra Slab & Avenir® Next
Simon picked Dobra Slab to show how a geometric slab typeface can work as a header. Bold, robust and commanding. Backing it up is Avenir® Next for smaller details text. Clean and readable at smaller sizes making it a perfect go-to font.

Image 4 - Music Poster: DIN Next & Hideout & Helvetica® Now
For this music poster mock-up, Simon picked three different typefaces. A Monotype Fonts Subscription makes it easy to pick many different styles! Din® Next for the Artist's name - Clean and bold. Hideout as a sub heading for the band name brings texture and contrast to Din Next & finally Helvetica® Now for the small body text .

Image 5 - Packaging: Norman Stencil & Resolve Sans
Norman Stencil & Resolve Sans - two polar opposite typefaces used for this packaging design again, show how different styles can work well together. Norman Stencils the star of there show with its great alternates and Nimbus Sans gives a great supporting role with its condensed and regular styles.

Image 6 - Flier: Kolesom
Simon picked Kolesom for our final piece here again showing how one typeface can really make a piece standout. Kolesom’s textured characters and alternates give a great retro vibe to this flier.
