Agatized Informal

The design started life as a piece of lettering for a book design that didn't progress past the sketch stage. There is a saying: Use sparingly. Make your Glyphs palette burn rubber. Set your OpenType to full throttle: crank up your style and get those liga-tyres screeching. The design is something of an enigma, a curious mish-mash of genres try splicing Uncle Buck and Deadpool into a horror movie it's big, bold and funny but it also has a dark side. I liked the rough, dense character shapes, so during some down time I started drawing more characters and the lure of a new typeface pulled me in from there. But what really makes this typeface a joy to drive is its boot full of alternative characters and ligatures. Agatized Informal is a rough-edged stencil typeface with chunky letterforms and tight spacing. Although this is a single-weight typeface it has a younger sibling, Agatized Formal, a neater, more dapper brother, smoother round the chops and smartly dressed definitely no less fun though. Not on this street! Agatized is a souped-up old campervan spinning doughnuts on the beach. Designed primarily for display use, it's ideal for posters, logos, advertising, book cover designs or small chunks of text such as pull-out quotes.
