Other custom Airwest type

Zeus & Apollo

A logotype drawn for a side project by Hatchback. It eventually became the name of an album by Hatchback, instead of a separate band, so this wasn’t used..

FIN Engschrift

It’s a modified version of DIN Engschrift, with custom characters and an oblique version. Designed for posters shown in a design exhibition.

See the posters.

Futureness

A complicated, techy logo drawn specifically for onscreen use. Futureness is a gallery of futurist and futuristic images.

Hazen Sans

The house typeface for Hazen Creative, Inc. It was inspired by the squarishness of DIN but the wider, more open proportions of Univers and Helvetica. It has a “hybrid” italic—an oblique with some characters styled after a true italic.

Rhinoceros

This font is based on Shawn Hazen’s normal handwriting, sloppy as it is. He scrawled out the title for a poster design and eventually turned it into a complete font. It’s since been used on several projects designed by Hazen.

Massive

This display typeface was built from the initial 5 letters of the custom Hazen logotype. It’s got all the fatness of a ridiculous wood type grotesque, but is much cleaner and almost geometric.
