Delphic CD cover. I think this is a bespoke type, but even if it isn't it stands out as being really unique and works well against the photography. I like how they have simplified the letterforms, so much so they certain attributes have been removed, like the E has been cut down to look more like a C. But it is still so obvious it is spelling out delphic. The treatment of the type is really considered, but not over complicated and decorative.
This is an LP design. I absolutely love this type. The only criticism is that it is not entirely legible. It says - Moog Acid. But I don't think this was an important matter for them, it was not the front of the cover and works well just a piece of typographic art. It does have an 'Acidy' feel to it - i think because it has a drip/liquid feel to it and the harsh contrast between thin and thick lines gives a contrasting, disagreeing feel. Sums up Acid perfectly with just the use of line.
Bespoke typefaces for Magazine spreads. Thin white type is not always legible against a photograph such as this one. But the way they have filled in certain aspects that make the letterform stand out as being that letter. For example, just the circle of the top of the R is highlighted, the right side of the G is highlighted.
