Black steel Band Deafheaven selling the iconic Font From Their Album cover

San Francisco black metal staff Deafheaven launched one of the significantly lauded albums of last 12 months with their most contemporary album, Sunbather. The album’s duvet, that includes a pinkish to orange gradient with the title printed in white over it, became its personal iconic signature for the band and their work. Now, Deafheaven’s label, All Black Recording company, is selling the Sunbather font, designed through Nick Steinhardt for the album duvet.

 

in line with the label, Sunbather—which is in keeping with historic type experiments through Jan Tschicold, is “a stenciled flare-serif display face inspired with the aid of vibrant mild and dissipating legibility” which “questions the mind to connect what the eyes cannot see when the thinnest strokes of a didone font evaporate.” Sunbather is available in three weights—guide (which was once used for the album duvet), bold, and Black—and is to be had as a free obtain with the purchase of alternative merch, or available as a separate suite for $30.
