“Disclaimer: An unhealthy amount of energy drinks were consumed while creating this product.”
So states Set Sail Studios regarding this fabulous, colorful explosion that also spells words: New Retro. Set Sail’s Sam Parrett is the one sacrificing his health so we can take a retro trip to the high-energy ’80s and ’90s—when energy drinks contained ingredients that are now banned in the USA. This bold, bright superset is roughly bookended by break dancing’s break out and the aforementioned ban, paradropping your project anywhere from 1979 to 2004. Put on your Ray-Bans so you’re not blinded by the aerobics outfits and let’s go hardcore vintage.
Although New Retro says nostalgic, retro, back-in-the-day…it’s still a kinetic package that will add movement and modern freshness. Energy never dies, it just changes forms: you can add undiluted 80s punch to any contemporary project. Branding, visual identity, packaging, logos, social media, web design, corporate communications, fashion, art, publishing, music promos, posters, film, signage, and more. Irrespective of the era it honors, New Retro dashes across projects with physicality and verve, a timeless winner no matter what it adorns.
That flexibility is due in no small part to the generosity of this offering. New Retro includes two fonts, icons, patterns, and broad language support. Please visit the product page for detailed descriptions of these features, plus all of the glyphs, a type tester, and a fabulous video where Sam Parrett himself walks you through this loud, bright font. The video makes New Retro extra user-friendly. It also illustrates that this is an incredible work of art created with great imagination and technical acumen. The knowledge and skills transmitted in the video will help you learn how to work better with fonts generally. It’s a private tutorial from one of the best typographers in the world.
It’s caring touches like the video that underscore the value of working with Set Sail Studios and Sam Parrett. Sam cares deeply about his art and his clients, and he wants to make sure you understand how to get the best from a font and have as much fun with it as he does. He’s not an artist high on a pillar, the aloof “delicate genius.” He’s there for his clients every step of the way with personal support and helpful tools like his videos. It’s easy to speak effusively about Set Sail’s stellar font collection. But as incredible as it is to say, there’s much more to the package, and that sort of value and guidance are unrivaled assets for your business or project. Sam will not let down. New Retro. Go there.
