Donald Beekman Picks His Favourite Club Fonts
The Amsterdam-based graphic and type designer, interviewer for Typeradio, musician, and DJ/producer picks his ten favourite typefaces for dance club promotion.

Monospaced
When we think fixed width, we usually think Courier. But there are monospaced typefaces in nearly every typographic classification — sans, serif, slab, and display.

Serifs with Swashes
Serif typefaces with swash or decorative glyphs are ideal for embellishing text. Here are ornamental capitals or long-tailed lowercase letters for ending a line in a flourish.

Sketched, Scratched, Scribbled
These typefaces emulate letters rendered by hand. Use ’em for a human touch, from playful to aggressive.

Introducing
FontShop Staff Picks

FontShop newsletters bring you the latest font releases, but what about the thousands of typefaces that may not be as fresh, but are certainly still functional?

That’s where Staff Picks come in. Just like the special shelf of albums at your favorite record store handpicked by the shop’s proprietors, our Staff Picks are personally selected by the designers and type users here at FontShop.

Each month we’ll give space to undiscovered favorites and fine examples of type in use. Our goal is to introduce type that᾿s new to you, even if it’s not new to the ’Shop.

You can always find a quick link to the latest Staff Picks in the left nav at FontShop.com. As always, let us know what you think!
