Font Fetish: Meyer Two

An oldie but goody designed by David Berlow

This blog isn't always about recently released typefaces, and this entry proves it by going back to a family David Berlow released in 1994 that was inspired by faces popular in the early part of the 20th century.

Meyer Two, which comes in Condensed and Regular weights, is meant to evoke silent films' intertitles; that is, the words that appeared between the film clips and served as dialog and narration. You can buy the family for $80 at Font Bureau's Web site.
