Just My Type 01: Contemporary Carnival

by Niki - Inspired Bride 9 Comments

I’ve been wracking my brain for weeks now, attempting to come up with new, interesting article concepts to stay ahead of the curve and keep the Inspired Bride as unique as I set out to have it be. Today, I very proudly unveil the first of these ideas: Just My Type. In this article, I’ll be pairing typographic treatments with colors to create a visual theme that you can pluck yourself or reference with your graphic designer. At the bottom of each post will be links that will take you to a recommended site to purchase the typeface from.

Note that I’m not necessarily keeping to a specific budget on any of these type groupings, so some of the price tags may be a little steeper than you’d like. With that in mind, I’ll offer substitution ideas at the bottom of the page if there are similar faces I think can work instead; anyone is welcome to add their thoughts as to replacement typefaces as well.

I’d love your feedback on this concept, and if you have any additional ideas. Comment here or use the contact page.

JUST MY TYPE 01: CONTEMPORARY CARNIVAL

Eames Font Family: House Industries
Bullion: Walden Font Company

SUBSTITUTION SUGGESTIONS:
Eames Century Modern Bold: Clarendon or Clarendon Bold

    LOVE IT!
    It’s a pretty awesome idea and I have not seen it anywhere else (but I don’t sleep, breath and eat the web)
    I already finished my wedding invitations but this will be very helpful for other brides out there!
    Of course this can also be useful outside the realm of the wedding world 🙂

    This is a beyond brilliant idea! Not only will this help brides but it will be a great resource for us stationery designers! You should create a submissions link, so once designers have created an invitation they can provide you with fresh info for typeface combos. I enjoy my business end of things, but I am more than willing to help out the diy bride. Everyone deserves to have beautiful invites reflective of their event whether their budget has room for a graphic designer or not!

    This is a fantastic idea! Choosing a font can be really intimidating, so this will be a great resource.
