Dinamit by Revolver Type plays an important role in the rebranding of Eurocept Homecare by Doordacht.

Eurocept Homecare is a home care organization that plays a leading role in moving specialist care to the patient’s familiar environment. Because they have the entire chain of medicine preparation, medical technology and home care in their own hands, Eurocept is of enormous added value to both the patient and the doctor. Eurocept's multidisciplinary approach is the blueprint for how they can continue to meet the increasing demand for care in an aging society.

On the website and also elsewhere in the identity, Dinamit is paired with Quincy CF.

Eurocept has all kinds of divisions: from medical technology and drug preparation to nursing and clinic care. All these divisions work together via one healthcare information platform, a platform where the doctor can request care and the patient has immediate insight into his or her treatment.

Doordacht has brought all these different names together under one brand: Eurocept Homecare. They are not separate operating companies, but collaborating disciplines. These disciplines together make the brand promise come true as we have defined it: further in care nearby.

The rebranding of one of Europe’s most eminent research institutes, the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in Würenlingen, Switzerland, was handled by Scholtysik.

The Swiss agency developed a dynamic logo that is constantly being formed and re-formed from tiny particles. The resulting shapes are inspired by PSI’s diverse research fields, such as quantum technology, neutron scattering, protein folding or atmospheric chemistry.

The PSI design system creates a new variety of expression. A free-style imagery, a broad colour palette and a variable layout offer great creative freedom. Precise language, clean typography and high-quality photography convey scientific excellence.

Scholtysik commissioned a slightly customized version of Revolver Type’s Ritual. Dubbed Accelerate, PSI’s exclusive typeface contains the complete Latin and Greek alphabets, as well as the mathematical symbols and special characters of all European languages. Its expression is factual, clear and precise. It is contrasted with an intense, pure colour palette. It corresponds to the abstract scientific topics and the often synthetic visualisations of the research results.

For the exhibition graphics and wayfinding system of the Lugdunum, Studio Gourdin used Dinamit by Revolver Type.

On Studio Gourdin’s website, we can read:

How can the fascinating Roman history be communicated in all of its facets? How can the stones be made to talk? How can an exhibition enthuse diverse target groups in equal measure? How can the museum be made more accessible, be anchored more firmly in society? What kind of relationship can be forged between one of the most significant archaeological collections in France and the breath-taking architecture of Bernard Zehrfuss? So many aspects that we are to address in our consultations with the museum team. An enthralling journey into the future.

The fourth edition Sun Cycle NYD music festival identity that will take place in 2024 uses Ritual by Revolver Type in Extrabold style, combined with Odd Mono by Metis.

Sun Cycle is held annually on New Years Day, with carefully curated lineups that are reflective of inclusivity without compromising on quality. A permeable exploration of the vast tapestry of dance culture from soul and jazz tipped music to the boundless potential of electronica, with influences from around the world.

The fourth edition of the festival takes place at the Coburg Velodrome in Naarm, Australia.
A true celebration of cutting-edge electronic soundscapes with music and mateship at its backbone.

The event features bespoke stage designs, unique food offerings from some of Melbourne’s top food and cuisine venues and unique interactive art experiences and installations from Melbourne’s brightest visual artists.

Words by Primary Works:

Rebranding for Atticus, a rapidly growing Australian software company that helps professionals review and verify important documents.

Having outgrown their initial brand, they came to us with a need for a new look and feel that better represented the up-and-coming technology player that they've become. It needed to feel trustworthy and intelligent, while still having a sense of energy and approachability. It also needed to re-imagine their existing bird logo into a more distinctive and flexible symbol.

The new symbol is a simplified finch that incorporates the shape of a check mark, signifying verification and approval. Derived from the graphic style of this mark, illustrations from London-based James Graham bring to life to the customers and concepts of the brand. Sophisticated yet playful, they help tie the assets together and create moments of delight and discovery throughout the suite.

The warm, human and trustworthy tone of Tiempos Headline carries the typographic system, recalling an established newspaper or magazine, while the bright yellow of the editor's highlighter became the new brand colour, lending vibrancy and energy.

Italian design studio Bluelabs designed the new website of Museo Cappella Sansevero. Like the museum, the website – and its typeface selection – aim to evoke the baroque era and its ideas.

From Bluelabs (translated from Italian):

Those who at least once in their lives have visited the Sansevero Chapel Museum know it: every corner, decoration or sculpture on which the gaze rests, sparks wonder. We wanted to transfer this halo of beauty and mystery even within the digital pages of the Museum and, to do so, we dived for months and months in the study of the Baroque. We have re-emerged with a surprising and accessible site, in which aesthetic choices accompany a complete and immersive browsing experience. Just like a real visit to the chapel.

(...)
Baroque is spatial liberation, liberation from conventions, elementary geometries and static. That’s why we chose to translate this liberation also into the pages of the site through an open design, based on plastic shapes and curved lines, spatial sinuosity, scenographic accentuation and evocative plays of light and shadow. The templates of the various sections present dynamic and asymmetrical solutions that generate a new and surprising composition.

Dinamit by Revolver Type Foundry is the brand typeface of InPost. The new visual identity was designed in 2019 by the award-winning global creative agency Dragon Rouge.

InPost is a Polish logistics operator offering classic courier services and parcel delivery to parcel lockers. Dragon Rouge was “tasked with reinventing the company’s image as that of a bold innovator and of imbuing the brand with energy characteristic of start-ups.” This was achieved largely by the use of “new, kinetic typography”.

The crisp and uncompromisingly wide Dinamit is used for everything from signs, online and offline adverts, courier uniforms, and more. On the bilingual website and in the mobile app, Dinamit is combined with Montserrat.

Newson by Revolver Type Foundry is the brand typeface of PSW Engineering.

The Ingolstadt-based company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Audi AG and develops solutions for the automotive future. PSW uses Newson throughout their visual identity. The sans serif appears in all-lowercase letters for the wordmark. In the corporate magazine, the functional typeface family with the unobtrusive appearance is featured in all of its seven weights, plus the corresponding italics. The website is rendered exclusively in Newson, too. Here it’s used in Light, Regular, and Medium weights, and predominantly in light shades of gray against a dark blue background, for headlines, body copy, and menus.

Newson was specifically designed as a quality choice for corporate design and branding projects. It was given proportions and features that work well both for text and display sizes, in print and on screen. It’s rewarding to see it used exactly in the intended way. Kudos to Tom Klein, Hamburg, who did the branding and strategy, and diesdas.digital, Berlin, who developed the website.

Magazine spread with milestones from the company history. “Highlights” is in caps from the Semibold Italic. Newson comes with various sets of numerals, incl. oldstyle, lining, tabular lining, and small cap figures.

The headline on this page features a type weight gradient. “Testfahrt” uses several of Newson’s weights, from Extralight to Bold.

Dinamit in use for Next47, an independent global venture firm established by Siemens. The current corporate website was developed by Fuseproject. The wide grotesque by Revolver Type Foundry is used in Bold, Semibold, and Light weights, for all display purposes, like hero texts, headlines, and pull quotes. It also is specified for labels, key data, and menus. Dinamit is paired with the serif Merriweather for body copy.

The Harvard Gazette is the official news website for Harvard University. Upstatement was recently commissioned to reimagine the venerable publication. The new font palette combines the sans serif Dinamit (Revolver Type Foundry) and the serif Nocturno (Typotheque).

Our research and design explorations took inspiration from the Gazette archives to independent print magazine to modern data visualization applications. We think we landed on a logomark and visual language just right for modern-day Harvard — authoritative, accessible, and dynamic.

Dinamit is a wide grotesque that started out as Lukas Schneider’s reinterpretation of DIN Breitschrift for contemporary editorial needs. The Gazette uses several of its seven weights, in a range of sizes: Dinamit appears in headings, subheads, teaser texts, captions, and many other roles. Nikola Djurek’s Nocturno was chosen as the typeface for longer texts, with Nocturno Display for article headlines. The logo is in Maple (Process Type Foundry)

Damien Text is the primary typeface used for Yearbook of Type 3. This compilation published by Slanted “presents an independent selection of new typefaces created all over the world—from larger publishers to smaller, independent typographers and foundries.” The third edition (after 2013 and 2015) brings together recently released typefaces by no less than 91 foundries. The collection of typeface portraits is enriched by articles and essays by Boris Kochan, David Jonathan Ross, Ferdinand P. Ulrich, Laurence Penney, Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer, Stefan Hattenbach, and Viktor Nübel.

Damien is used for all text. Small caps from the bold weight were chosen for the rotated running heads. The contemporary serif typeface by the Revolver Type Foundry is paired with headings in Berlingske Sans Display. Damien adorns the book’s spine and back cover, too. The front cover shows a potpourri of other recent fonts, featuring the interlocking Gustan Display Forma, Fino Stencil (with OO ligature), Pilot, Italian Plate No2 Extra Condensed (on an escalating baseline), and Saol Display for the number. The publisher’s logo is in Suisse Int’l.

Damien (Revolver Type Foundry) is used alongside U8 (Fatype) in Koschke. This 152-page book was published by the German Film Critics’ Association on the occasion of the Woche der Kritik which took place during the Berlinale film festival in February 2018:

Berlin Critics’ Week was founded four years ago with the activist intent of casting a different light on film culture, of questioning the many routines of the “business” (our own included), of conceiving of criticism as action, as an endeavor that shouldn’t just observe from afar, but also create incentives. It’s in this spirit that the Critics’ Week 2018 has set out on a new initiative, publishing the first edition of a book to accompany the program.

Art direction: Kai Bergmann and Matthias Neumann.

Quotes are set in a bold weight of Damien Display. By activating the stylistic alternates for diamond-shaped dots and punctuation marks, the typeface’s sharp character is further emphasized.

The essays are set in Damien throughout. The contemporary serif typeface family is employed in several weights; for headings, body text, marginal notes, page numbers, and running heads.

Quote by Rainer Werner Fassbinder — can you spot the word in sans serif letters?

Some of the large quotes in Damien Display use the U8 typeface for inline emphasis of single words. Here it is Style as defined by Charles Bukowski.

In this section, Damien Bold (heading) is paired with a very light weight of U8 (author’s name).

Damien has rather economical proportions, while U8 is wide. By pairing the two contrasting typefaces in a single line, the designers create an eye-catching, slightly disturbing effect.

German and English texts are set in the same cut of Damien. German-style (single) guillemets are also used for marking quotations in the English parts. Damien Light was chosen for footnotes.

In this composition, Damien and U8 take turns. The larger quotes are in the serif, the small ones in the sans.

The opening page for the appendix combines Damien Display Light for English with U8 Medium for German.

Mondial is prominently featured in the current issue of PAGE, the leading German graphic design magazine. Revolver Type Foundry’s revival of Hans Bohn’s 1930s Didone comes in two subfamilies, Mondial Display and Mondial Text.

PAGE chose the latter, with its wider proportions and sturdier strokes, and exclusively uses its italics. Mondial appears on the magazine cover as well as for headlines and pull quotes. The other typefaces shown are from PAGE’s standard typographic palette, see this previous entry on Fonts In Use.

Damien Text is used for all body copy on NZZ Bellevue. The online magazine was developed by Edenspiekermann as

“a new platform for NZZ (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), bringing together three print-only publications (Z, NZZ am Sonntag, and Stil) to become Switzerland’s premier lifestyle guide, … offering inspirational and informative content across fashion, food, design and more.”

Damien by Revolver Type Foundry was designed specifically for editorial typography. It combines contemporary character with untroubled on-screen readability and is hence the perfect choice for the project. Damien is complemented by Beausite. The high-contrast sans serif by Fatype is used in all its three optical sizes—Grand, Slick, and Fit—for headlines, teasers, captions and navigational items.

Article design featuring Beausite Grand Bold (headline), Beausite Fit Medium (lead), and Damien Text Regular (body text). Note the «Swiss-style» quotation marks.

Damien Text comes with small caps, fractions and different sets of numerals. This number-heavy feature about Swiss watches shows the default old style figures.

All four weights of Damien Text come with corresponding italics. On NZZ Bellevue, Damien Text Italic is used for footnotes (shown) and author names.
