Plucking a Cherry

Custom Typography

The word Times written in a narrow sans serif font. The T and e specifically contrast the other letters, being made from horizontally elongated loops.
The song title Stay Open, written in a reverse contrast cursive font. The letters loop around each other and connect in unexpected ways. The Stay is in lowercase, while the Open is in uppercase.
The word Drop, drawn using heavily abstract rounded forms that taper to a point at the bottom. The o is a perfect circle in the middle that seems to gravitationally affect the rest of the letters, bending their strokes away from it.
The word Crickets written in a narrow serif font with insect like parts at the serifs and finials. Set inside of a cutout in the word is an illustration of a cricket.
The song title Living my Life Over written in a modern blackletter inspired font. Living my Life is in title case, while Over is set in all uppercase. All of the points of the letters form small diamond or sparkle shapes.
The song title Pjluk set in a fluid, bulbous cursive font. The letters p, l, u, and k are made from a continuous line that swells and contracts, and the letter j is represented by a cherry.
The words Bitch Bites Dog, each on top of the other, in a type lockup reminiscent of metal band logos. All the letters are spiky and aggressive looking, and the o in Dog takes the form of the an illustration of a dog.
The song title Exit Flatland. Exit is set in a small sans serif, which is above Flatland, set in a high contrast serif. The letters, going from left to right, transform from well defined and rectilinear to rounded, blobby, and amorphous.
The artist's name, Cecile Believe, mostly set in a narrow sans serif font. The C's, B and V are are in contrast to most of the letters, being made of wide high-contrast loops.

Witty one-liner!
