Fonts in Use, Handpicked Typefaces | Stephen Coles | September 6, 2006


We end our three-​part newslet­ter series on pack­ag­ing design with a look at the scripts so com­monly seen at the super­mar­ket and drug­store. This edi­tion fea­tures a list of fonts that effec­tively emu­late the hand drawn let­ter­ing that appears on dryer sheets, paper towels, and hand soap.

If they some­how slipped into your junk box or trash (for shame!) here are links to the web ver­sions of the FontShop Newslet­ters fea­tur­ing the fonts of pack­age design:

thank you for such enlight­en­ing mate­r­ial

just stay­ing ‘afloat’ as well as stay­ing ‘in tune’ requires an effort and the insight­ful obser­va­tions as well as expo­sure to high qual­ity, rel­e­vant typo­graphic vari­ety are of great ben­e­fit

well done, don’t stop.
