Good Tempo Records
Zoo from Blaze Type plays a pivotal role in the visual identity of Good Tempo Records, a Brooklyn-based record label and event promoter, designed by Atelier Soleil Soleil.
Atelier Soleil Soleil, a French studio based in Lyon and founded by Alain Papazian and Paul Andali, specializes in art direction, graphic design, and typography. For the Good Tempo Records project, they chose the Zoo typeface by Quentin Colombier, which effectively blends sharpness and roundness, delicateness and strength, to resonate with the label’s vibrant music scene.
Inspired by the lettering on the vinyl sleeves of a French jazz band named Zoo, the typeface’s asymmetrical distribution of shapes creates a lively, dynamic character, perfectly suited for the graphic expression of Good Tempo Records. This typography encapsulates the energy and creativity of the label, reinforcing its identity in the competitive landscape of music and events.
Zoo is used alongside Newlyn’s New Spirit and Typedifferent’s BD Cashbox.
