Design for Screen - Typeface

For the inflight entertainment personal television and inflight phone app. I have research what type of typeface would be the most appropriate for a global target audience. 



  1. Alcubierre is a minimal and geometric sans serif font. Created by Matt Ellis, this font will complement any design it’s part of.
  2. Designed by Rodamir Tinkov, Qanelas has a geometric touch to it. Its available in several weights and is perfect for both headlines as well as normal paragraphs.
  3. A humanist sans serif font, Cloud by Typomancer is incredibly versatile with five weights.
  4. Inspired by the early modernist era, Corbert by Jonathan Hill has optically adjusted circles that give the font clean lines and wonderful legibility.
  5. Unique, designed by Art Maker, might have a retro look, but it still has that rugged modernistic feel to it.
  6. Montserrat typeface, Often compared to Proxima Nova for it’s charming utility, Montserrat is a useful typeface, loved by many web and UI designers.

Emirates & British Airways are top global airlines when travelling long distances, their impressions are very sophisticated, high quality and classy representation. Therefore when collecting and researching colours that deliver this kind of interpretation below is some examples of type of high class colours I will experiment with for the design process. This is a similar approach that I will do when selecting an suitable typeface. Due to researching both global well known airlines, the typeface that they use are both a combination of a sans serif and serif font. Therefore, I will find some typeface which is similar to this sort of style, the typeface should easy, simple and minimalistic as the target audience is a global one. 

 Update
After some feedback from peers, all of them agreed that 'Montserrat' is the most appropriate and suitable typeface for this kind of program. Most comments generally said that it is simple, neat, clean, and easy to read. The slight curve within the typeface give it more character and looks inviting.

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis.  The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'.  'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'.  Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'.  Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'.  'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'.  'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...

Studio Brief 01 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts   The shop that I wanted to r...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page.  The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical).  To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally.  The siz...
