Typeface of the Week - Hera Big

Sometimes a font just stands out as a superstar of typography. Hera Big is a huge font family, with diverse potential for every self respecting graphic designer. Hera is a fresh mix of originality and organic form, never sacrificing function for beauty.

Here at Blossom we are just waiting for the perfect project to purchase this font. It's hard to justify buying more fonts when out library consists of 10,000 beautiful fonts from the past 20 years. This font however is a very NOW typeface and I suspect it is a must-have for 2011.
