FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Daniel Brokstad Daniel Brokstad lived in Australia where he graduated from RMIT University in Bachelor of Design. He returned to Stavanger, Norway, in 2011, and later joined Sagmeister & Walsh in New York City. Daniel created the extreme-contrast art deco / fashion mag typeface Casanova (2011), which features two choices of tilt---positive and negative. The way in which this typeface is used by Brokstad is sheer genius. In 2013, he designed the decorative caps typeface Medic Type. In 2019, he published Lucifer Sans. This mammoth 162-style typeface family is rooted in Scandinavian geometry and minimalism, mixed with a healthy dose of black metal and irreverent attitude. Harsh vertical cuts and angles throughout the font creates a very strict and hard look, that can either be amplified or loosened up through its stylistic sets. In 2020, he designed the 10-style rounded octagonal typeface Geometrisk.
