New Type for IHOP–KC

My primary project here at the house of prayer for the past few months has been researching new typography. We’re picking new fonts to represent who we are. It has to feel as historic as prayer, but as accessible as God.

From working with bad fonts, I have also figured out that it needs to have all the right characters and options within the font library. Or else you get this:

Then it takes a talented designer to use the fantastic fonts. Or you get this:

No, this is not an ad for IHOP–KC, but we have seen some bad stuff go out in email blasts as well. Alas, we are still human.
