Too obvious? Nah.
To be honest, I think this is a perfect way to end a typographic match. The message is simple, succinct, and pleasant. The characteristics of the final typeface integrate elements from nearly every one of the volleys. A bit of bulbous, a sliver of serif, a touch of italic. And, I’m sorry ... but that exclamation mark is the best ever ... it’s freakin’ waving at me ... hi there exclamation mark ... I’m waving back at you ...
Now boys, go finish that typeface. For reals.
Today’s match was a “friendly” so we won’t be declaring a winner, but if you want to vote just post a message to Twitter that contains #lyt and either #simonson or #bruhn. Tune in again next Friday for a really, really experimental live Photography Exhibition Match, and make sure you have your Free Season Tickets for news, contests and a way for you to play.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Grant Hutchinson.
