Mc Kean

These images  were taken from the Mc Kean website and I simply love what the designer has done to recreate the style that is Mc kean art. The way ink has been used you the feeling that collage has been a great influence of the artist. The harsh scribe like scribles have a profound effect on this particular design layout

 Gill Sans is a pure and simple but not and artificial sans serif. It is based on the typeface Edward Johnston designed in 1916 for the signage of the London Underground. Gill’s type is more classical in proportion and contains his signature flared capital ‘R’ and
eyeglass lowercase ‘g’. Gill Sans is classified as a
humanist sans serif, making it very legible and readable in text and display work.

The Bell

The original Bell, a English neoclassical typeface, was cut in London in 1788 by Richard Austin for a publisher named Bell. Widely used in the USA as an alternative to Baskerville in the begining of the 19th century. Monotype cut a facsimile in 1931.
The Bell is more vertical in axis than Baskerville and its serifs are very sharp.

I really like this type face as is a very modern design. it will reach a young audience as “Southpark” uses this type face and there for you have a visual link to a mass audiences. It’s edgy design intrigues me and the use of curves and sraight lines give a curious composition.
