FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Kasper Pyndt Danish minimalist designer in Roskilde / Copenhagen, who made various typefaces in 2010, including a monoline sans caps face, a Peignotian high-contrast caps face and a paper fold face, and the geometric typeface Ottoman. Ottoman was part of the visual identity made for a nightclub named OTTOMAN, located at Dunkel in the heart of Copenhagen). Wondair (2011) is a rounded monoline logotype made for a fictituous airline. Gemini (2011) is a bilined geometric art deco typeface. In 2012, Pyndt designed the geometric typeface Husaar, which was inspired by Avenir. In 2014, he was located in Den Haag, The Netherlands. Typefaces from 2014: Kieu. Typefaces from 2015: Dalat (a rounded text typeface with Vietnamese vernacular roots). He writes about Dalat: Via conversations with local designers I was informed that most signage in Vietnam are created by small print shops with little or no knowledge of type setting. Furthermore, I was told that Vietnam does not possess a formal education for graphic design and does not even have a word for the practice. Vietnamese visual culture still possesses references to earlier sociocultural influences such as China, France and Russia who each brought significant visual styles to the country. I wanted to draw attention to this heritage by implementing Chinese calligraphy, French Art Deco and Russian Constructivism into a single typeface. Behance link.
