Conversation Hearts was designed by Harald Geisler and published by Harald Geisler.
Conversation Hearts contains 1 style.
Conversation Hearts are inspired by the sweethearts and conversation hearts that can be found all over the US and Britain, but not in Germany. A source of endless fun and surprise. As a typographer to me they are also a surprising document of written communication. Most people complain that nowadays the inscriptions are not as sweet as they used to be. While they used to held romantic and promising inscriptions like "Be True" "Sweet Talk", today they carry "Tweet me" "Ur Hot" and "Party Girl". So i took this as a motivation to work with conversation sweetheart on a conceptial inspirational and typographical level. The obvious: every letter pressed on the keyboard brings out a conversation heart that starts with the letter - i.e. L = Loverboy, H = Heartless but what to write? Since i didn't want to reproduce the old "Fax me" and "Email me" I had to come up with something new. Something with a personal relation and of course something that I Love - what else could i write in the shape of the heart? So I tried to access my upper subconsciousness and looked for two words for every letter in the alphabet. One for the capital letter pressed and one word for the lowercase letter. Resulting in a Kurt Schwitters worthy assemblage of vocables 'Post-office' "Internship" "Zebra" "Answers" etc. It is not easy to read a text set in
Conversation Hearts but easier as a text set in Zapf-Dingbats. To sparkle the visual appearance uppercase letters are filled hearts with "carved" inscription, while lowercase letters are an outlined heart with written inscription.
Conversations Hearts is a part of the Light Hearted Font Collection that is inspired by a recording of Jean Baudrillard with the title, 'Die Macht der Verführung' (The Power of Seduction) from 2006. Further inspiration came from the article, 'The shape of the heart: I'm all yours'. The heart represents sacred and secular love: a bloodless sacrifice. by British writer Louisa Young printed in EYE magazine (#43) London, 2002.
