About TripleStrip

The experimental TripleStrip typeface family, designed in 1996, consists of three formally different family members: Vacancy Light, Bargain Regular and BlowOut Bold. The family members maintain independent appearances. By precise layering on top of each other, the combinations produce numerous novel looking fonts. Add color and the range expands to widely differing solutions. The alphabets are visually referencing to idiosyncratic letters encountered in the urban domain of Los Angeles.

TripleStrip alphabets are influenced by letterforms created by expert and amateur sign painters alike. These letters are employed on billboards and installed for store fronts. This unconventional font family embodies a fusion of many different characteristics of letterforms often containing symbolism, spontaneity and humor found in the urban environment of the American West.
