Font of the Week

Write with Compagnon

Are you looking to be closer to your audience? Using a typewriter font might be a good solution. Typewriter fonts communicate a sense of openness and, sometimes, intimacy. Compagnon takes inspiration from different typewriters from different eras. It has four weights and one italic. Each weight and style is unique because each was designed based on historical references to different periods in typewriter history. 

Font Details

• Each weight and style is different
• Enlarged punctuations
• Ball terminals on Light and Roman versions

How do I use Compagnon for logos?

Compagnon Roman has a quirky voice that stands out. It communicates cutesy and quirky. Light and Light Italic are thin, so they might break down when used in smaller scales for logos. Bold is the slightly odd one. It has a “handwriting” appearance, communicating more of a whimsical tone. 

Can I use Compagnon for my marketing copy? 

The Roman and Medium versions are excellent for short copies in small and large sizes. They both have cute, friendly personalities. Compagnon pairs better with a sans serif, like Space Grotesque or Poppins. Both of these have geometric traits that complement the warmth and friendliness of Compagnon very well. Light, Light Italic, and Bold are not suitable for body copy. They are all too hard to read in small sizes.

 

Design Idea of the Week

Photomontage 

Have you ever had the experience of looking at something familiar but... not quite? The content is new, but the familiarity, either in visual or topic, pulls you in. The photomontage technique is an excellent example of this. It is the process and result of making a composite photo ( sometimes seamless) by manipulating two or more pictures into a new image.

 

Color Inspiration of the Week

Mary Cassatt’s Paintings

Here is our weekly inspiration of colors surrounding the theme of intimacy. Mary Cassatt was one of the most prominent women artists during the impressionist movement. She was well-known for painting images of women and children, doing everyday activities, which are unconventional subjects during that era.
