We understood that users would have many points of contact with the company: tournaments, broadcasts from the studio, weplay.tv platform, marketing communications. We wanted to combine all communications with something more than a logo and company colors. So, we decided to develop a unique font," explains , Chief Design Officer of WePlay! Esports.
Example of the font usage
"A lifehack for companies that choose between two options: to use a set of ready-made fonts and regularly pay for the license, or to develop own font. Predict all possible ways of using the fonts and calculate the license price. The decision to develop own font may be the best. Also, you strengthen the uniqueness of the brand, and the font can be adapted to specific tasks," adds Rogovchenko.
