Hamster wins a TDC Award

News: Awards & Recognition

Hamster hops to victory

Our Color Font Hamster has just received a great deal of recognition: The prestigious “Certificate of Excellence” in the 70th TDC competition.

Even the Type Directors Club can’t resist the charm of an adorable hamster, proving cuteness transcends even the strictest standards of typography.

hen we published our first Color Font Hamster last year, we devised the “Hoarding all the nuts” campaign together with the creative geniuses at SNASK. Hamster has now melted hearts at the TDC: The prestigious “Certificate of Excellence” in the 70th Type Directors Club New York competition. We are ecstatic and are doing a Hamster Dance to celebrate the day.

Designer Joe Stitzlein has achieved a unique feat: Exactly a quarter of a century after his first TDC award for the ITC Tactile typeface, he can put the prize on his shelf for the second time. So we are already planning a congratulatory card for 2049, when he is expected to win his third TDC Award.

So if, like us, you feel like giving Hamster a cuddle, we recommend trying out the colorful Trial Fonts.
