Reflection 1: Appropriate Typeface

Here is my solution to the previous post. With the use of elegant and softer typefaces the feeling of fear and worry is broken. A more peaceful and safe, even inviting feeling is achieved. Its even more appropriate because the practice is not just a dental surgery but a COSMETIC dental surgery, highlighting the fact of beauty.   





Reflection 1: Inappropriate Typeface

Here is a sign for a cosmetic dentistry practice. Its distressed and almost psychotic appearance terrifies me, a feeling I do not want to experiences when about to go into surgery. I would like to feel calm and my mind to be at ease. This sign achieves the exact opposite.
