Our designer was rummaging through some old sketches the other day and found this interesting little item. We think this idea-a sort of subtly bifurcated Sans Serif -has a great deal of possibility and will be encouraging its further development when some of our present projects are a little nearer completion.

Coliseo is a lively and fun Art Nouveau inspired typeface, inspired by stone lettering seen on facade of the Coliseum Theatre in London. It’s beautifully characterful let legible making it ideal for poster work or anything where it’s useful to combine Roman display faces with a feeling of life and energy. Coliseo is available on Fontspring and Myfonts.
Concept Sketches…

Here are some sketches we found lying on our designer’s workbench… We suspect they could be a little like the big car company’s concept cars-so way out that they’ll never quite be used in practice, but full of good ideas that might find their war into something a little more useable for our clients. We thought we’d publish them here and see if they do prove to be an indicator of future design trends. Enjoy the slide show!
