the image has nothing to do with Chris Vine, its just a cool image of vines.

Avant Garde LT extra light, and bodoni i think.

Two different kind of books. None of the dogs is a Portugese pointer, but pointers anyway.

ITC Galliard

ITC Mendoza

The typeface for this one is jabberwub by James Arboghast.

Had another go.

What if Haydn's Symphony no. 79 had been a cold-war-era pulp spy thriller instead of just another piece of classical music?

Used a free font called Know your product.

For my first entry - Lionel Crabb - I used Orator Std.

Learning Curve and Bembo

I'll be honest...the Wikipedia hit was for an album by Life of Agony (whom and of whom I've never heard) called "Ugly," but I just put "Ugly" into the Life search...so yeah.

This image just immediately leaped out at me from the search results for some reason. Apparently, there's a model agency in London called "Ugly" or something like that...

Is it sad that I'm considering using this title, at least, if I ever release a book of my poetry?

P.S. Please don't think that I consider any of the fonts here "ugly." I actually like them all, and I love using two out of the three families represented. I just think they worked, sort of offsetting the deliberately "silk-screened" image.

Peace,

EDIT: Since it seems to be the hip, cool thing to name your typefaces:
Virgin, Adobe Caslon Pro, and Delicious (regular, smallcaps, and heavy).

I'm new on the site, just signed up today, but I've been following Typophile through Twitter. I saw this topic on there and I couldn't pass it up.

In the first one I used Archer and Edwardian Script, in the second I used Imprint Shadow and Minion Pro.

Compatil Text/Fact LT Pro

Baskerville.

The strangest thing about this is that the funereal picture is actually a match not for "Dead" but for "Smiths."

Thanks Andi.

The watermark stayed because I needed a publisher.

Daniel

(I used Riot Squad NF and Corbel)

My first attempt in Type Battling:
A cover for the book about George Szell - conductor and composer.

I've used Helvetica Condensed (Bold and Regular).

I just had to try it out. ;^)

(To much spare time, you say? No, not really. Just som problems prioritize...)

wow these entries are great

will post one shortly....might not be as good as some of these though :S#

peace out

Simsy

Used Univers - - what else?

:-) You're far too kind, Craig.

Great challenge.

This was the first title that Google found for me.
Fonts used were Goya Ultra from Harold's Fonts and FHA Egyptian Bold from Letterhead Fonts. The Tokyo station photo was shot by my father (a Life staff photog) a few days after Japan's surrender in September, 1945.

Times New Roman Bold and Helvetica Obliques. I know, right, but you should see Sydney Transport styling.

I did just learn a lot about ferries, though.

Got "Sterling Rohlfs", apparently a test pilot of little acclaim.

Here's mine. It literally took me three times before I could get one that worked.

SecretFun –

Nice!

What a fun game!

You loved the building in Columbus, Ohio, now, experience the thriller novel!

first go was kind of simple: Myriad Std Sketch and Myriad Pro.
But I saw all the other clever folk (I'm a bit of an amateur) so I went for another try.

ended up with a Sin City sort of look. Same font except for my name, which is Small Fonts, because I moved to my computer at home where there are fewer fonts.
