Hmm been thinking about this and I reckon slightly improved if The Times was a St Bernard and Helvetica a Labrador. And then a Spaniel for our handwriting.

Maybe they did Courier as a Dalmation, because Courier is like newspaper type, and a Dalmation looks like its printed.

I really don’t get any of these except for Künstler.
and Fraktur is obviously a Shepard or a Rottweiler.

Does this mean that a Labradoodle is Comic Sans?

I don’t get Courier for a Dalmation. Courier is a ubiquitous font that everything defaults to. You see courier everywhere when fonts are missing, it defaults to it. Dalmations aren’t everywhere and ubiquitous.

ok I have a yorkie-poo and a shih-poo, so since there is poodle in both I would assume a serif typeface for both…hmmn but which one for yorkie and which for shih-tzu?

C’mon. Fraktur is a doberman. I thought everybody knew that.

This is a years old project by the three-man studio grafisches büro from Vienna, Austria. Still great though.

They’re reworking their portfolio at the moment. The book “postscript” about middle european type-design of the 90ies was designed by them too. http://www.g-b.at

i think they’re all spot on. bodoni–actually each on of them–makes sense to me.

I would put the Weimaraner to Bodoni…

But hey, my dog is a Helvetica :)

C’mon, the bulldog is obviously Cooper Black. And what, no greyhound?

I don’t know but I think some of these are off. The wiener dog one and courier are spot on.

Helvetica Neue Bold is a German Shepard?

Don’t tell the Bundesrat ;)

I got really excited about this post, but I guess I just don’t get it? Is there any reason behind the dogs chosen to go with the specific typeface? I see that verdana is a bit pixelated, and I get the “Bold Extended” part on Eurostile, but I don’t so much get the rest. I want to though as I love dogs and typography.
