New Dog Tag Roman - Happy Font Friday! In honor of Memorial Day Weekend, Font Friday this week will be the font used on dog tags - American Typewriter! American Typewriter is a style of typeface created in 1974 by Joel Kaden and Tony Stan for International Typeface Corporation based on the form and monospaced feature of the early Sholes’s patent of the typewriter. They adapted the friendliness and immediacy of this style into the proportionally spaced font. This face was never made as foundry type, but appeared first as cold type and has subsequently been made into digital type. This typeface can be used for business correspondence or any other place in which an old-fashioned style is required. The ‘A’ faces are identical to the regular ones, except for alternate versions of the following characters: &, $, R, e. The typewriter was patented in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes, who sold his rights to the Remington Arms Company in 1873. The first typewriters were initially thought to be replacements for printing and so typewriter keybars utilized printing types. Monospaced typefaces, that is, those designed so every letter takes up the same amount of space, were a more practical alternative and soon replaced printing types. This was by no means the first type to imitate type writing. Foundry catalogs of the late nineteenth century were already offering them and press manufacturers even made press size ribbons so that letters looking as if they had been typed could be produced wholsale.

Anytime Fitness, an international fitness center franchise, needed some simple graphics for a pickup to go along with their current branding. We helped them come up with a quick, budget friendly, eye catching design to promote the company. 4 years later, the graphics still looked great - until - the vehicle was in an accident. Everyone was ok - except for the graphics :) Fetch matched the Pantone purple to the original wrap, re-printed the missing pieces, and had the truck back on the road in no time! High-res

Look what was on TV - a commercial for Weed Man! Fetch is currently wrapping the Weed Man Service Trucks in a yellow and green two-tone layout in order to cut costs so the dealers don’t have to get them painted. The best part? When they’re done with the pickups, they can have the graphics removed, and give the dealership back a white truck instead of a green and yellow painted one! High-res

Any Vehicle, Any Size, Anywhere…

We pride ourselves on being able to take your design and apply it to any vehicle size while maintaining your Corporate branding. While some franchisors make it easy on us by requiring the same vehicles to be purchased for each new franchise owner, we enjoy the challenge of getting the same design layout to work on a Smart Car, a Mini Cooper, and a Chevy Express.
