About TX Switch Font Family

TX Switch and Switch Box are number 3 of 7 in the series asking how can personality described through handwriting be translated into typefaces? Each element of the analysis was matched by a moment and/or technique found in type history. The strokes of the case study's pen are constructed and extravagant, indicating creative expressiveness. Geometry and 1920s modernist ideals provided for the perfect base in the early design stage. The observation of dramatic switches in pen stroke directions was represented by using a more condensed and tight construction. At the same time, the typeface is spacious and unmodest. TX Switch Box was designed as a companion typeface, also tapping into the sentiment behind street graphics. This drop shadow was rendered in the same spirit as the craft of sign painting. Both styles were inspired by the art of letterpress printing, old books, comic books, hobo writing and the commercial arts. Open, honest and hard working, Switch's design is about everyday markings, places and the familar landscape of Main Street, Anytown USA. Attention getting and legibility are the key components.

About Typebox

California-based digital typefoundry headed by Michael Kohnke. Typebox describes itself as follows: "TYPEBOX: mind, heart and hand. Like in life itself, the process of 'thinking, feeling and doing' can also be applied to design culture - from concept and formgiving to the ongoing use of craft with the art of cartography, graphic design, and type design. "TYPEBOX: useful and unique. Typebox provides creative services and markets typefaces to meet the expectations of today's design industry. Our experience in cartography, graphic design, and type creation is driven by visualizing finite information in various ways. It is through critical thinking and evaluation that Typebox finds the solution that works best for a need. "TYPEBOX: promoting clarity and craft. Typebox understands that technique and style of presentation has its own peculiarities and integrity, and this must be made clear when developing a particular visual display. We do this by finding appropriate suppositions that will fuel ideas. This will help in maintaining an expansive thought process, and engage experienced and creative people in order to achieve effective, solid and lively work that amplifies a client's vision and values. "Contact Us: Typebox collaborators come from a range of backgrounds - print and screen design, analog and digital methods of creation, and other alphabet cultures. Over the past two decades' progress, we've become bridges of experience spanning technologies, media, and cultural aspects of cartography, graphic design, and type."
