Aside from being a graphic designer and typographer, I Dj as a hobby. My new drum´n´bass project here in Brasil is called Marvada, which is a funny way of saying something´s evil. I used blackletter AND bright colors for the project identity as well. Hope you enjoy it.

Yes, by “neat” I meant “cool.” Had no idea that was an Americanism. :)

I think it’s an Americanism for ’Nice’, ’Cool’, ’Sweet’ etc.. although it’s been lost in translation, there’s certainly an irony which has been found.

My only problem is the illegibility of the address beneath ’Rick Shaw Stop’ due to the stroke on the gothic type combined with the small .pt size.

just wondering: what do you base yourself on to say this is “neat”?
