Anyone interested in the design side of things? does anyone know what the typeface/fonts DMZ, Hyperdub use? +Where to get them? Peace

why would you want to use the same font as some one else?

kion · Post by **kion** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:56 pm

na thats not quit the tempa face.

im generally quite saddened by the design in the scene. everyome goes for the clean typographic solution at best or the cheesy as fuck drum and bass look at worst.
ive said it before and im gonna say it again:
WHERE THE SUPERSTRUCTURES AT ?!

I dunno man i quite rate a fair bit of it. I like tempa's stuff, simple but well effective. Quite slick, quite right for the vibe of a lot of those tunes. And i love the dmz design ethic, just raw as you like, no frills. Looks like a weighty soundsystem turned into typeface! Much prefer those to most artwork around. Granted a lot of electronica artwork smacks it, designers republic especially, but it must put costs up a lot to have full art for sleeves. But then there are some labels I dont like the style of very much, but then i guess thats down to taste more than anything

Can you do better with web fonts and the forum's formatting tools?

The Tempa logo is Arial Black, italic with heavy negative kerning, or a slight variation thereof.

But I generally like the look of dubstep design. Nothing too codified yet and it's much nicer than most of the grime stuff which is often all pixel-y.

haha grime graphics is something else. ugly as it is i kind of hope it stays that way.
sorry to be pedantic about the Tempa logo, fair play you did a nice job there.

yo dust shop, those are all post-graffiti dudes. theres more to graphics

Said it before and i will say it again as far as artwork and sleeve design goes its skull disco alllllllllllll the way!

(although i do like the hyperdub design to)

autonomic · Post by **autonomic** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 5:52 pm

yeah skull disco art is the business

i like the work i've seen from n-type too

bah thats kinda ruined the mystique what did you have to post that for lol - and there was me thinking they spent enuff time cutting out letters from the Sunday People

dust shop · Post by **dust shop** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 7:22 pm

yeah sorry for the font

and for the "post graffiti" links also,

a better idea is to take a look at this book:
http://www.booklounge.com/index.php/boo ... -sampler-3

there is a bunch of nice and mostly unhype works
