Wired Magazine
In this months issue of WIRED I found a few examples of type that proved particularly appealing. The Fetish section uses a very minimalist san serif typeface with all glyph in uppercase. The clean minimal design gives the type a modern feel that works well with the sections high tech content, and when used in this context, this seemingly characterless san serif becomes very futuristic.
The decorative type used in the 100 of 2014 section is very fun, playful and looks three dimensional, like it's just slightly jutting out of the page. It certainly works in context of header or title type with it's tall wide stems. Despite the actual weight of the line in this type it manages to not become over dominating on the eye thanks to the white lined interior leaving space for blocks of colour or white stock to shine through.
