Pottsville, PA, March 20, 2018 – D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery®, is adding a new beer to its iconic core product portfolio, Yuengling Golden Pilsner, a modern pilsner crafted with the perfect balance of hop and malt character for crisp, smooth refreshment. Born from six generations of brewing expertise, Golden Pilsner is Yuengling’s first year-round beer to debut in 17 years.

We also love the design of the Yuengling Golden Pilsner packaging because it complements the design of our core brands’ packaging. The bright yellow gold and white colors reflects the color of Yuengling Golden Pilsner beer.

The design uses three fonts from the Burford typeface family; Burford Inline, Burford Drop line and Burford Base. The Burford family is a layering typeface with small wedge serifs.

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery®, is celebrating 190 years and six generations of family brewing. In 2019, Yuengling will commemorate its 190th anniversary by offering fans exciting packaging, promotions, special beers, and celebratory events throughout the year.

In celebration of its 190th anniversary, Yuengling will release a series of five limited-edition, collectible Yuengling® Traditional Lager beer cans. Between January and May, a new 12-ounce can design will hit stores each month and showcase the evolution of Yuengling’s iconic eagle imagery that has graced labels since 1829, when the brewery was originally called the “Eagle Brewery.

The collectible can series was illustrated by Steven Noble. The graphic designer is unknown. The celebration lettering is set in Burford, and the text on the lager can is set in Cheltenham and some form of Clarendon.

Kowalski Quality Baked Goods is the bakery of Jacob Kowalski (played by Dan Fogler), located at 443 Rivington Street in New York. The logo of this fictional company uses the Burford typeface, on the shop signs, the delivery car, and other items.

From the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF):

The CBLDF Banned Books Week Handbook is a free resource that gives you the scoop about what comics are banned, how to report and fight censorship, and how to make a celebration of Banned Books Week in your community! CBLDF’s Banned Books Week Handbook is an essential tool to assist librarians, educators, and retailers in planning their Banned Books Week celebrations, while also being a vital reference to help readers everywhere fight censorship.

The 2015 edition was edited and designed by Betsy Gomez, with cover art by Raina Telgemeier. The front cover uses You Blockhead for “Censorship!”, shown here in all caps, the name of the publication is shown in an outlined Burford, which had been released a few months before the launch date of the handbook, and “Fight for the Freedom to Read!” is in an also outlined Marujo.

A local café and patisserie, Konditorei Herrdegen, had run out of their initial batch of certificates of origin, which they put in the boxes of one of their most prized pastries. They asked me to have more printed, but I took the opportunity to freshen up and straight up fix some of the previous design.

My goal was to have the new certificates instantly recognizable for existing customers, so I reused some of the most prominent decorative elements, while I tried to improve the frankly messed up typography. Admittedly, the result is not outstanding work at all; time and budget constraints, you know the drill. But I did get the chance to apply one of the Font of the Month Club fonts. I was in doubt, so I used Roslindale!

Maybe in the future the design can be refined a lot more, but I'm only starting to make sense of the design debt I inherited here. For now, this will do.

Print run of 10k, 80g white paper (recycling). Roslindale is used in Display and Deck sizes. The headline and logo are unchanged and use Burford, in its Extrude C and Base styles, respectively.

Melbourne is probably best recognized as Musketeer, designed in London in 1968 by Tony Geddes and also offered as Milton by the French-owned Mecanorma. Meanwhile, it’s the German-owned Softmaker that offers Melbourne Serial – which is the version used here – also available as TS Melbourne via the TypeShop Collection, aka the former Brendel Type Studio, all somehow related under the auspices of Walter Florenz Brendel, an enterprising (and notably entrepreneurial) fellow type designer.

It's often considered to be derived from the Design Series offered by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler around the turn of the century, but there are considerable differences and it certainly isn't a revival. Moreover, the Anchor Series by the same publisher seems to be an even earlier predecessor.

Melbourne / Musketeer / Milton also exhibits considerable influence from other typefaces like Windsor (1905) and Antigua Progreso (1923). Regardless, it’s a lovely, idiosyncratic and rarely utilized typeface.

Detail

Birra Stout is one of the many typefaces used for the typographic illustrations that accompany Amanda Kae Fronk’s article about linguist Mark E. Davies in an issue of BYU Magazine, a quarterly published by Brigham Young University. The whimsical display typeface by Darden Studio was chosen for the words “famous” and “crisis” in the large opening spread. Birra also appears in another graphic with “words about women”. Here it’s used to render the terms “pregnant” and “adult”.

What could you do with a few hundred billion words? A BYU professor is transforming linguistics research, language learning, legal studies, and other fields all over the world.

Among the other repeatedly or prominently used fonts in this smorgasbord are Klavika/Klavika Display (“Big Lang BYU”, “inalienable”, “huge”), Bourton Hand Script (“Flow”, “friendly”), Facebuster (“obesity”), Tungsten (“recession”), Quitador (“Ideal”), Burford Dots (“refugee”), Estilo Script (“creative”), and Archer (“civility”). See the typeface credits for more identified fonts in use.

“Using Davies’s Corpus of Historical American English to compare some of the most common adjectives that appear near the word women in two different time periods – 1810–99 and 1970–2009 – reveals major shifts in attitudes about women and their role in society.” Klavika and Bourton Hand Script are used for the title, Pompadour Numerals, Cooper Black, and an unidentified grotesque for the years [edit: Champion Gothic, see comments].
