Showings for the new typeface, Plakate, at www.publictype.us

Five weights/styles with lots of alternates. 

Plakate is a condensed family that uses a system of weights as the design process. The light weight is the same thickness as the accents in the boldest weight, which means you can start to mix and match weights within a consistent system. Stylistic Sets become an integral part of the face, especially the vowels in Stylistic Set 01.

I have adopted a new way of working where I start to see fonts as tools and I want at least one font for each type of job. If I need a super condensed face, I need to have that covered, but I also want to have extra assets to play around (thus 620+ glyphs). Plakate meets that need and will be an essential tool for my future design needs, maybe yours as well.
