MegaMegaTypeType
A thin, ball-and-stick geometric display face with decorative dot patterns and a suite of alternates and ligatures drawn from Herb Lubalin's typographic vocabulary.
About
Designed by Travis Stearns and released in 2009, YWFT Valley uses a literal ball-and-stick construction, with dots placed rhythmically between letterforms to create a distinct visual pacing. The OpenType file includes stylistic alternates, swashes and ligatures inspired by Lubalin's post-modern experimentation. Its lean proportions and geometric rigour make it suited to fashion, editorial and headline settings.
Classification
A ball-and-stick geometric display sans with decorative dot patterns between letters and a strong post-modern sensibility, placing it firmly in display rather than functional sans territory.
