Conggratulations Dez (that gg is a reference to your very funny Froggy font ligature)! Nice font with a great display and a lively new website to match. Keep up the good work.

Hey mighty nice work Chris!

Thanks Vladimir and David!

ChrisL

Excellent! Love the image/type design also. A great use for such a heavyweight.

Thanks, Stephen!

ChrisL

She's a sturdy font, that is for sure. Can probably hold her own in any headline. ;^) Congratulations, Dez. I never lost hope.

THANKS TIFFANY!!!

PS: Because nobody saw it in my blog, here is my comic release version: :-)

JLT wrote a great piece on the release of Squeeze. He mentions Typophile with a long tribute to the Critique Forum. I had to go back and read the original thread just to refresh my memory. THANKS, JLT!!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

WHAT IS THIS TYPEFACE?

H.

Hello, Franz,
The text you quoted is just placeholder text that I should have already replaced :-)
Placeholder text is used just as a "temporary" filler in a Lorum ipsum sort of way. Now that my site is live, I will have to finish writing everything and replace it.

I assume the typeface you are talking about is "Dez Squeeze". It is a very heavy weight and wide display face with quite narrow counters. It is intended for use in large size display situations where you want high impact and a very dark color. For now, only the widest width has been released but there will be 4 narrower widths to follow shortly.

Thank you for your interest,

ChrisL

PS: Here is a sample of the 2 extreme widths:

c'mon! you can suck it in even farther :^p

I guess that might be Dez Squeeze Corsett :-)
but I wouldn't want it to be anorexic.

ChrisL

hi Chris, your font in use:

Its about a new company (a merger of the italian company Menabue and the german company Betz) for exclusive car transports in Modena, Italy. Not yet online.

THANKS, NORA!!! Well done!

ChrisL

Soon to come :-)

ChrisL

Hooray! :-) Go, Chris!

Anxious to see it. Great!

Thanks, André!

ChrisL

Finally! Four years later, I have released the whole family with numerous added glyphs to the 7 widths.
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/dezcom/dez-squeeze-pro/

Dez Squeeze Pro is a display family in seven bold widths. Choose the width that fits the space available for your headline. Dez Squeeze Pro is a very bold display face with multiple language support, nearly 600 glyphs, stylistic sets, Unicase, and many alternates. Dez Squeeze Pro is Bold enough for knock-out photographs, so go ahead, knock yourself out.

Gorgeous, congrats!
