Deafheaven Selling Sunbather Font
The All Black Recording Company are selling the font that was created specifically for the packaging of Deafheaven‘s new album Sunbather. It was designed by Nick Steinhardt. The “Sunbather” typeface is “a stenciled flare-serif display face inspired by bright light and dissipating legibility”, and it’s available here.
Here’s more information about the typeface:
Referencing similar historical type experiments by Jan Tschichold, it questions the mind to connect what the eyes cannot see when the thinnest strokes of a didone font evaporate. The results were then finely tapered and sharpened to create a stern and angular mood when set in text or large words.
A Sunbather blanket was also up for sale in an edition of 50. Those have sold out.
