Weekly Combo: Landmark and Sentinel
Sentinel and Landmark
H&FJ (Hoefler & Frere-Jones) just released Landmark, a beautiful typeface with Art Deco undertones. In addition to the more traditional weights and styles, it also comes in an inline style, a shadowed one and a dimensional style that combines the inline with the shadowed. It is an elegant and eye-catching face that was created as part of the identity for the Lever House in Manhattan. I’ve coupled it with Sentinel, one of their slab serif faces which has a slightly geometric feel and a vertical stress, some things that I think go well with Landmark. Their web site also suggests a few other combinations that look great together.
