Random Typography Spot: No. 03
Oh err… My local Post Office (Guildford High Street) has come over all touchy-feely. You no longer have to queue up, you take a delicatessan style ticket and relax on the red faux-leather banquette sofas. The good Burghers of Guildford however still prefer to form an orderly line unencumbered by bollards — Gawd bless ’em.
To go alongside this new customer experience the PO designers have left their traditional typographic shackles behind and opted to use Chevin Bold, a cracking little font from Nick Cooke’s G-Type collection, available from purveyors of fine typefaces Font Shop
Not sure about the updated queuing system and furniture, but the typography’s great.
