#60S FONTS MID CENTURY MODERN MOD#
The big difference when it comes to web design is that most of the more muted color palettes of mid-century mod in print are even bolder and brighter, more in line with current web trends, such as Hyper Giant (above). Use of space and geometry are also identifiers. It can be a little more difficult to maintain the spirit of the style in this format, but you can definitely see it with more retro-style elements, color options, and type treatments.
While print elements might be the most common use of mid-century modern design, elements are popping up on web projects as well. The National Parks Conservation Association and Ranger Doug’s Enterprise has released a growing collection of parks posters in this style (above). One of the most well-known trending examples of this style is in wall art.
With distinct ties to art and architecture, mid-century modern graphic design often evokes these ideas. The best modern mid-century mod collection of elements might be the visual catalogue by Theo Inglis on Tumblr (also featured above). It’s definitely a design style that comes with a distinct manner of taste – people tend to love it or hate it. One of the most common features of mid-century modern design is that it looks somewhat abstract and disjointed at a glance, but when you really look at these pieces, they work fantastically. Typography is often on the simple side with block sans serifs, simple serifs and plenty of all-caps fonts. Shapes and space are often wide, asymmetrical and even aloof in style and structure. Mid-century modern is often colorful and bold. While it’s not always easy to define this aesthetic there are common color, shape, spatial and typography elements that help make it identifiable. “Mid-Century Modern” is a collection of design styles that most us of would consider retro these days.
