Theamed Type

Type can do amazing things; from evoking emotions or feelings to forming images and is a crucial part of a project, it is like the cherry on top that brings together and unifies a spread. So i went out and found some genres of expressive type i like to show what i mean.

Deathcore type: is a lot more than just letters forming a band's name. It conveys the theme of terror and darkness through the long thin strokes that look like they were nervously scratched into a wall by a psychopath.

Vintage Type: expresses class and nostalgia and is very calming. It says that the product or poster you are using it on is tried and true and has experience, i find it a very 'secure font' genre.

All in all, type doesn't have to form a image with it's positive and negative space or flow all around the page. Just by using a specific font and decoration style it conveys and expresses a message just the same.
