RETRO ’70S ALPHABET
Another retro-riffic seventies-style alphabet for your vintage graphic endeavors. The stylistic hallmarks are all here, layered outlines, warm palette, & off-color rainbows, & this one can conjure up the best kind of groovy nostalgia for a simpler time. You can easily re-color the layered rainbow stripes in the letters using the “select same fill color” command.
• Important Note: This is custom vector art, not an installable font.
• Saved in .eps format, compatible with AI 10 & up.
• Drag & drop the .eps files onto PhotoShop application icon to open in PhotoShop
This is NOT an installable font, but rather a set of colored vector letters that can be pasted together to create a custom headline for your graphic piece. In a matter of just a few minutes, you can copy & paste the letters to spell out a customized headline or product name, apply beautiful curves & contours if desired (using Adobe Illustrator’s Object Envelope Distort commands), & presto, you have a lovely, unique, & custom-lettered branding system or headline. & yes, it goes more quickly than you might think.
TIPS FOR GETTING A PERFECT RESULT
1) Don’t forget the kerning! This is often the difference between a good lettering design & a great one. After you’ve positioned the lettering on a straight baseline, give it careful look. Squint at it. Look at it from across the room if it helps. Close up the big wide gaps like you might see between an ‘L’ & an ‘A’. Open it up a bit when dense letters want to dovetail too tightly together. Bottom line: Don’t use math or rulers to kern the letters, use your eyes. If it looks too tight or too loose, then it is.
2) If you’ve positioned individual vector letters before, you probably know that letters with rounded tops or bottoms need to extend a little bit below the baseline & above the cap height line. Example: a rounded capital letter ‘O’ extends slightly beyond the lines at both the top & bottom, & a rounded capital letter ‘U’ extends below the line at the bottom only. This extra height (most prominently on bold lettering) counteracts the optical illusion of rounded letters naturally appearing smaller than the rest.
3) Try curving your words, rotate them around an arc, bend & warp them for great results. Adobe Illustrator’s Object Envelope Distort is your friend.
4) The colors are editable of course, although in some cases, it may prove to be overly complicated to edit some of the multiple gradient swatches used for creating the 3-d style drop shadows & faux-metallic shine gradients. Experiment, & see what works.
