Verse Sans and Serif Round and AngularPosted: 07.09.2007 |
| In 2006 the art director of emotion, a womens psychology magazine, asked me to design a copy typeface for them. Before I actually got the job I started to work on a serif. I wanted it to be feminine but still clear and modern. On one hand there are the floral round elements and on the other hand the angular serifs. In the composition I wanted the two extremes to work together. All the other elements had to be harmonized. The proportions needed to serve magazine requests. The ascenders and descenders are short enough to work in narrow columns but long enough to work in small sizes. As you can imagine, the emotion-job never happened. Verse is now a serif and a sans serif with 7 weights with italics and smallcaps. VerseSans VerseSerif For Tradmark reasons I had to change the name Verve to Verse |
