The Mojo typeface is an adaptation of 1960s lettering styles popularized by the poster artists Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, and Rick Griffin. During the heyday of classic rock, their psychedelic work was seen all over the San Francisco Bay Area. The style itself was rooted in the Art Nouveau period, unmistakably influenced by turn-of-the-century Viennese poster designer Alfred Roller. True to its roots, Mojo is best used in large display sizes, on posters or signs. But the font also works well on small invitations and flyers, and might even be the right choice for your band’s logo. Try Mojo out today! Just the Right Sketch Font – Linotype Ego Linotype Ego is a fun font from German designer Jörn Rings. Its forms have all the spontaneity and charm of true sketchy handwriting, and the font lends a personal character to private correspondence (letters, greeting cards, etc.). Linotype Ego is legible even in small point sizes, and is meant for short to middle length texts or headlines.
