Hamburger, Johnny Ruzzo
“Hamburger” is a typeface based upon the serif face “Cheltenham” but altered to create a sans-serif display typeface with a hand-written feeling. It is inspired by Helvetica Rounded and Cooper Black, and could be used for movie or band posters, or even for business cards, if the feeling is cutesy and organic. This sans-serif display type includes both upper and lower case characters, and also pairs well with Cheltenham.

Eaves Dropping, Nicole Marrinaccio
Eaves Dropping is an elegant modern semi-serif typeface, that is based off of Mrs. Eaves Roman. This typeface is meant for display and decorative uses. It would work great for titling on a fashion editorial spread, magazine or album cover and on invitations possibly with flourishes and delicate decorative elements around it. It is a very legible typeface even though each isolated stem extends down below the baseline as a descender. It is not recommended for use under 20 point size, or large bodies of text.
