Hey, I'm Jesslyn.: This is Quicksand, Type Specimen Promotional Tools

TYPEFACE OPTIONS

TYPEFACE SELECTED > QUICKSAND

I choose QUICKSAND because i think the purpose of type specimen is to promote a new product, so I chose QUICKSAND because it is a new typeface. The concept is "Sweing the Q" (the moodboard ^) because QUICKSAND has been realise in 2008, but the designer, Andrew Panglinawan got some positive feedbacks and he redesigned some parts of the letters and realised again in 2013. QUICKSAND has bold, italic, regular, light italic, light, & dash and i think it has a potential to explore in 'sewing' style especially the dash. Also sewing is create an exist thing (which is thread) become a fabrics or clothes, like QUICKSAND it was exist in 2008 and again in 2013, and it is time for Quicksand to sew its career in the future. The keywords are Mature (present through the style, because the real Quicksand is something trap us, but this is another Quicksand that give a good font), Feminine (present through the element), and Calm (present through colors, because we have to be calm when we are sewing)
