Racquet v0.1 comes with swash capitals for every style. A decision I will come to regret, Iām sure. There are also stylistic sets you can turn on that remove the pointy spurs (or the āessence of the typefaceā as I like to call them) if you want to design in safety mode, like a coward.
Get in on the action today at @futurefonts via the bio-link.
The initial version of Racquet (v0.1) comes with 1 weight and 1 width, but in 3 styles: upright, slanted, and backslanted. If you give your money to @futurefonts youāll get these fonts in exchange, as well as upcoming additional weights and widths. Seems like a pretty good deal.
āØNEW RELEASEāØ Racquet by @btuttle . This condensed and rounded design comes in three styles (upright, slanted, and backslanted), with contextual swash caps. Racquet draws from a range of late 19th-century sources including Schmale runde Grotesk, Propaganda, and Helvetia. Future plans include a full family of 5 weights and 3 widths for all three angles.
My typeface Racquet is available for early access today on @futurefonts
Get in on the ground floor at a low low price as I continue to make updates and build out the full family. The initial 3 fonts will balloon into a projected 45 styles.

Variations on a theme. Hereās a small selection of some of the scrapped and/or rejected lettering sketches/pieces explored for the main title treatment of the second series of BEEF, as well as the final (āļø) seen in the show and marketing materials. š
I worked on the lettering and type for second series of Lee Sung Jinās BEEF, which is out today. The main title lettering and accompanying typeface, under the direction of Lee, are a sort of reinterpretation of Bill Goldās lettering for Kubrickās Barry Lyndon, by way of punchcutters like Rosart and Van den Keere, and 20th century revival types like Monotype Plantin.
The weathering and texture for the individual episode title treatments were done by @vandivision who did an awe-inspiring job bringing the lettering and typography to life in the context of the paintings.
Many thanks to producer Reuben Lim and showrunner @beherelater for the invitation to collaborate.
REVELATIONS OF DIVINE LOVE opens this week at @anthologyfilmarchives and plays a number of other NYC area theaters over the next month (including @spectaclenyc of course). Here are two poster variations utilizing one of the typefaces drawn for the title sequence, and the epic illustration by @jennifermayreiland
Fold out poster and brochure for the Frank Heath film series playing at @spectaclenyc throughout March. Programmed by @monsanto_brand_ambassador who also wrote all of the text. Cant recommend these screenings enough, Frankās work is next level. Pick up a brochure at the theater, or anywhere else weāre able to drop them off around town.
Was a quick but incredibly fun time designing these two title cards for @kierlajanisse 's new short film THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM, based on the Algernon Blackwood story. The short premiere's tomorrow at Sitges, and will screen in Brooklyn as part of Brooklyn Horror Film Festival on October 23rd in the shorts program: Re-Animators: Reimagined Tales from BHFF Alumni. Highly recommended!
