Hi Everyone 👋

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Last week, I finally launched the logo design tool I've been working on Typogram 🙈. The launch overall was pretty successful. There were no end-of-world, app-breaking bugs. And we are getting a lot of feedback and feature requests on the app, which keep us busy and iterating. If you are curious, you can now create a free account to check out all our features.

This week, enjoy an attention-catching display font!

In This Issue…

  • Font of the Week: BioRhyme

  • Design idea: Typogram Launch!

  • Color Inspiration: Oslo, Norway

Font of the Week 

About BioRhyme

If you are looking for a font with a beautiful organic shape, look no further than BioRhyme. BioRhyme is a slab serif with graceful curvy details that are rare in a slab serif font. These curvy elements, like the curves in the tails of the uppercase “R” and the strokes in the lowercase “z,” make BioRhyme looks extra elegant and inviting to the audience.

Font Details

  • Available in regular and extended width 

  • Curvy elements 

  • Each width has five weights with no italic styles

How to use it for logo?

Both widths of BioRhyme, at heavier weights, like bold and semibold, are great for logos. My favorite is BioRhyme extended because it is extra attention-catching and elegant.

How to use it for marketing and branding?

BioRhyme comes in two font widths: regular and extended. Regular is the more standard letter width, which is great for headers, whereas extended width is much wider and perfect for making attention-grabbing bold copy statements.

Design Idea of the Week

Typogram Launch! 

We finally launched our little logo design tool. You can now create a free account to try out our features! One of our proudest features is the icon swap. Choose a letter or a partial shape within a letter, and then click on “Swap with Icon” to experience the magic. And we currently support three types of icons: 

  • Editable icons: A Typogram specialty, designed and developed in-house and exclusive to our app.

  • Regular icons: Large and searchable sets of traditional icons

  • Bring your own icon: We support bringing your own icon via SVG code, adding flexibility. (Note: the icon should have filled path)

Typography Jargon Buster!

Serif Typeface 

Serif typefaces are letterforms with small lines or strokes, or “serifs,” attached at the end of larger strokes. Serif typefaces originated from inscriptional lettering: Words were first painted with a brush, then carved into stones in Roman antiquity. Serifs are classified into several smaller categories: Old Style, Transitional, Modern, and Slab Serif.
