A few years ago I needed to devise some letterforms for an assignment I
had for Hershey's Chocolate. The design of Powerstation Block was the direct
outgrowth of those letterforms. When I initially decided to flesh out this
"chocolate chunk" of a typeface into a family of usable fonts, I felt that
the next in the family should be one in which the illuminated facets became
more dominant—giving it a lighter feel—and so PowerStation Wedge was born.
Doing a straight, solid version and then a thick, outlined version followed
by wide versions of all of the above seemed only natural.
But why stop there? I wanted to give this extremely graphic display font even more flexibility and usefullness by adding a two color capability. This was achieved by creating "layerable" versions of the four faceted designs; i.e. PowerStation Block Low, which is the base solid font, and Powerstation Block High, which contains the highlighted facets. By pasting the "High" over the "Low" and colorizing them differently, one can easily achieve virtually limitless color effects. You can purchase the PowerStation font family through FontBros or Veer.TO VIEW or PURCHASE PowerStation click either of the FontBros, MyFonts or Veer links below. |
