ABOUT

Mysterylab [Mott Jordan]

American designer at ITC of the stern strong sans serif typeface ITC Verkehr (1996) and the open typeface ITC Hornpype (1997).

In 2019, he set up Mysterylab just around the time that Quentin Tarantino released the Sharon Tate murder spoof Once Upon A time In Hollywood. He promptly designed the great collection of 1960s psychedelic fonts Psych Handlettering (layerable), Hippie Mojo, Summer of Love.

Typefaces from 2020, still nostalgic of the 1960s and 1970s: Aerodyne (in 14 styles; mini-serifed), Maxos (a poster typeface that celebrates big ball terminals), Falkirk Script (a calligraphic signage script), Lotus Petal (psychedelic), Kaleidoscope (psychedelic, art nouveau), Sixties Flashback (psychedelic and wavy), Magnetic Script (a great baseball script), Psychotropic Experience (psychedelic).

Typefaces from 2021: Big Sur (a 6-style Western slab serif), Carnaby Street (psychedelic), Klangfarbe Script (a delightful script; Mott writes that it is a true chameleon and is very much at home with a variety of looks: from a reimagining of kitschy 1950s scripts, to analog retro-tech, to steampunk, to high-fashion futuristic logos and beyond), Pure Psychedelia, Longshanks (a sharp-serifed condensed serif display font with low waist blade-like strokes, and small x-height, meant for titling use or to evoke fantasy worlds), Wavelength (a 10-style sans serif with oomph, characterized by a Euro-like lower case e).

Typefaces from 2022: Afiche Script (a wonderful almost upright rounded signage script), Good Vibes (a whimsical circus announcement font).
