Inspired by the logotype from the movie Staying Alive, comes this digital broadway lights style font family known as Digital Disco, (ok, so it was really Saturday Night Fever, the Prequel that was Disco). My favorite scene is when John Travolta bumps into Sylvester Stallone in the beginning of the film. Just look at this typeface and think...“You could be dancing, YEAH!”.

Break out the gold chains and unbutton those shirts!

Think: Roller skating in the park, hot sticky summer days, car washes, wet t-shirts, being crushed out, blue skies and white puffy clouds and Japanese kawaii!

Think: Studio 54, bad girls, bad boys, a mirrored ceiling above the water bed, Bianca Jagger, hot pants and sunglasses so big they cover your entire face! Macrame Super Triline is the naughty sister of Macrame. It comes with lots of design alternatives for example The upper case S has an extra bit of flourish while the lower case s fits nicely between other letters. It’s an almost unicase font but you can also choose non unicase versions of the p, b and d for better readibility. This font contains the Euro symbol, just use the currency symbol key stroke!

Set the mirrored ball spinning, and get down to Funky Town. Based on a period piece appropriately named Disco 79, this version shifts the concentric elements so that they appear to be lit from below, adding impact and, perhaps, even a sinister touch. You'll also find special treats at the dagger, double dagger and section mark positions.

Jezebel is all dressed up for you. And if she can't make your mouth water and eyes light up with love, nobody else can. She’s got bigger hair than Dolly and Elvira together, more tongue than a Kiss concert with Jagger opening, more leg than a Moulin Rouge premiere, more sword than a pirate ship, and more loop than a chartered accountant. She’s the queen of now, the essence of cool, the twenty-first century fox. She’s the ever playful and creative girl with so much talent her art just cannot be restrained. She’s got popular culture on a long but strong leash. She looks gorgeous and positively glamorous no matter what color she wears. And last but not least, she’s got the charisma to make people of all ages want more of whatever it is she feels like offering.

Glow Gothic BF, like its predecessor Subliminal BF, represents further exploration into typographic special effects. In its original form, it features letters that are transparent, with an opaque glow. Glow Gothic Overlay and Glow Gothic Underlay share identical spacing values and are designed to be used together. Though “Overlay” can certainly be employed as a separate, stand-alone, solid font, using these two together allows for greater color and (tighter) kerning possibilities —see Gallery Images.

Teaspoon was originally designed by Haley Fiege as a project-specific font in 2007, then completed and produced by Canada Type for commercial viability in 2008. With a personality that can only be described as “ironic cute”, it serves as a much needed alternative for the old overused poster faces, such as Cooper Black and Gill Sans Extra Bold. Words that look good set in Teaspoon include puppies, rainbows, salmonella poisoning and Tom Cruise.

Meloriac is a pseudo-retro, unicase display font. An obvious tribute to Futura Ultra-Mega-Freakin’-Black and Avant Garde Heavy Heavy Heavy Heavy; Meloriac is ideal for tight headlines and logos. Squish! When we say tight kerning, we mean disco-slacks-tight 1970s kerning . . . track it wider on subheadings. Japanese katakana letters are included so you can grace your designs with pretentious new rave slash J-pop flair.

A decorative, maze-like multi-line typeface in two weights. Lower case is narrow, upper case is wide, the two can be mixed to give a variety of bold, dynamic effects.

It’s 1984 and everything has sideburns. Shoulder-padded “dress for success” is in, with power suits for women, black and white layers for men, neon brights for the youngsters. Maggie’s “enemy within” and “no society” speeches preface the arrival of shopping malls and corporate status symbols. The economy is a philosophy and accountants carry ambiguous but very sophisticated-sounding titles. Thousands of words and expressions are reduced to initials or monosyllabic sounds. Synthesizers are very refined and the music is very catchy. The Macintosh and MTV are making waves. Brands are lifestyles. “Yuppy,” Yummy," “Bobo,” “Dinky” and “Woopie” are standard consumer categories in advertising lingo. The Volkswagen identity, only 5 years old now, is all the rage in design. VAG Rundschrift, by all appearances a rounded and slightly condensed Futura, is everywhere. Tube design is king.

More…

Rinse is a textured, vintage t-shirt font based on Goudy Heavyface Italic. The OpenType format features letter pair autoligs to help break up the monotony of obviously-repeating letters.

More…

Tomato is the digitization and quite elaborate expansion of an early 1970s Franklin Photolettering film type called Viola Flare. This typeface is an obvious child of funk, the audio-visual revolution that swept America and put an end to the art nouveau period we now associate with the hippy era.

More…

A 60s, 70s revival this curled casual latin brings back that great look. The font comes with an alternate version which can be used as a separate font or you can mix and match the two.

Glitterati is Disko 2005.

More…

Some like it hot. Others play it cool, clean and laid way back. You say Soap looks familiar? Sure, it looks a bit like Cooper Black but Soap is much more. It’s so slick lowercase won’t even stick to it. And check out the top of the C and G. That’s a beautiful thing. Soap’s numerals line up with the capitals making it right-on for t-shirts and titles. Soap has real tight spacing for that pseudo-seventies look. Groovy dingbats? Soap’s got ‘em.

More…

A throwback to the 70s, a graphic design with a lot of different applications.

Tubularis is a geometric disco-style font with tubular lines running concentrically. There are quite a few contextual alternates and ligatures to keep the text flowing smoothly without any unsightly overlaps.

More…

The mid to late 1970s: an age of disco and more disco. In its day, disco was a relentless onslaught to at least three senses. 30 years later, all is forgiven. Pretend to celebrate those wretched days with a vintage disco t-shirt font derived from old, screwed up samples of the Helvetica of disco: Quicksilver. If you buy the OpenType format and use an application which properly supports OpenType fonts, custom letter pairs will magically wedge themselves into position to reduce repetition and properly recreate that sexy, tight disco t-shirt feeling.

Fatty Fatty Boombalatty PW is suitable for display use for titles, as well as short paragraphs of text.

Bigfoot is the fattest font ever made.

More…

I have always been frustrated when looking for a bold condensed face. The choices were the usual? Helvetica Bold Condensed, Univers Bold Condensed or Alternate Gothic #2... all rather dated. I was looking for a really unique, clean, uncluttered sans serif face, so I decided to design one. I have since adapted it to many logo designs. So, in my terms and conditions, I decided to permit the modification of the letter forms for logos and monograms, but logos and monograms only, not the typeface in normal usage.

R5D8 is seven weights of hot capitals, inspired by events which occurred in the distant past in a galaxy which could be described as being somewhat distant.

Steve Jackaman has refined and optimized Jolly Roger for digital release. The original design was created in 1970 by the legendary American type designer Phil Martin, founder and creator of the Alphabet Innovations and TypeSpectra type collections.

More…

Just like the M.C. Escher impossible figures and optical illusions, “Denedo” is a font that is impossible to construct in three dimensions because it only exists as a drawing. This font is based on the “0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9” characters of one of the alphabets published by Nedo Mion Ferrario in the “Letromaquia” exhibition that was shown in Caracas, Venezuela in the 70’s.

This cuddly face is based very loosely on Dave Farey’s Beesknees. This version is a little more regimented but no less fun, and is notable for the addition of a lower case, not found in Farey’s design.

More…

Named for the strong, cold winds of southern France, Mistral was designed by Roger Excoffon for the Olive foundry in 1953.

More…

Usually, the condensed version of a face comes after the regular design. Not with gogo squat. After gogo big, I thought how strong a regular version would be. A nice clean gutsy face. A “today” Franklin Gothic Extra Bold. I find it ideal for contemporary headlines as well as for logo solutions. As with gogo big, in my terms and conditions, I permit the modification of up to ten of the letter forms for logos and monograms, but logos and monograms only, not the typeface in normal usage.

More…

Stephanie is a rounded geometric display font and works best in display applications, such as posters, headline, magazine, product branding, corporate branding, signage, logos and titles.
