NEO DECO

I'm not one for fussy type. I'm usually drawn to simple, raw, unadulterated, clean, honest type. Overly stylized type scares me to pieces.

Then I met Neo Deco. I can't place my finger on it, but there's something undeniably seductive about this typeface. I LOVE the high contrast between the black and the light gray that the stripes help to create. I mean, come on, who can NOT love that Q? It's so lovable!

Of course, it has its faults (The E, F and 5 turn me off slightly)...but who doesn't?

It was created by German designer, Alex Trochut, who has also done some work for Beautiful Decay, that has gained some recognition.
