FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Seymour Chwast Graphic designer born in New York in 1931, who worked with Milton Glaser at Push Pin Studios in New York from 1954 onwards. Many of his fonts were sold by Photo Lettering. He designed Chwast Buffalo Black Condensed (1981, Linotype). Not my favorite black-weight face, oddly serifed. Chwast Buffalo provided the inspiration for Lackawanna Weed (2007, Nick Curtis). Artone (1968, PhotoLettering Inc: psychedelic lettering). Artone was digitaly revived as Loose Caboose NF (2007, Nick Curtis), Fofucha (2007, Iza W) and Dogsmoke (2019, Humberto Gillan). Blimp (1970, from issue c84 of Push Pin Graphic). Blimp was the inspiration for Weedy Beasties NF (2007, Nick Curtis) and Weedy Beastless NF (2007, Nick Curtis). Film Sense (1969, Photolettering: with Milton Glaser). Revivals include Newsense by Adrian Candela (2013). In Ray Cruz's font Bouncing Checks Layers (2014), we find 40 fun hand-drawn dingbats by Seymour Chwast. FontShop link. Klingspor link. Linotype link.
