ABOUT

   
2000. Unreleased.



There is a very clearly defined formula to boy bands: the cute blond one, the "edgy" one with the weird facial hair, the big one, the "urban" one, and the one who can actually sing. Can a typeface family be built this way, too? Yes, but it's more work that it's worth. And yes, that's a heart dotting the i in the top one.
