[|Neil Summerour] is a typographer from the 21st century and has made types for Victoria’s Secret, L’Oreal, Revlon, Oculus and Facebook. His work is seen as unique since other typographers are known for being able to notice Summerour’s work right away, since he puts his own little quirks on letters. Some things that i liked about this typographer were that he used loops and a kind of cursive font in his letters, which in my opinion made the letters and words more interesting. I don’t think that I have used any of his fonts before but I do like this style of font with a lot of loops and curves. I might use this font in a title for something to make the title more interesting and stand out in a unique way.

[|David Carson] is a typographer from the 1990s the Ray Gun pages inspired many young artists to pursue typography. Carson’s fonts are valued since he made his own path in the typography world by using his own contorting type, layout and grid, making the originals into new configurations. One thing that I liked about this typographer was that he didn’t consistently use curves with the letters in his font he would make some letters straight and then some letters would be curvy which makes his fonts unique. I have not used any of David Carson’s fonts before but I have seen them. Like on posters when there are some letters that stand out because they are a different shape or object. Like in Paris when the A represents the Eiffel Tower instead of just being a normal A.

Francesco Griffo is a fifteenth-century Venetian punch cutter. Griffo worked for Aldus Manutius designing more typefaces for that printer, which included the first italic type. His fonts are important since he was able to set the basis for typographers now since he was the person that created the first italic font. One thing that I liked about this typographer was that he was able to create a whole new different kind of font with the italic font. I probably have used some of his fonts before especially when using italic fonts. His work was able to stand out from past typographers especially since he was able to create a new style of type which no had seen before.
