Hot Plate Bats is a symbol font, which was especially designed as a companion face to the Hot Plate family. Created in 2003 by the German designers Timo Brauchle and Nico Hensel, Hot Plate Bats takes symbols and signs from everyday life, and puts them together in this useful compilation. Like the rest of the Hot Plate family, Hot Plate Bats takes on the look of old rub down transfer lettering. This aesthetic, a staple of graphic designers during the 1970s, has been almost forgotten in the 21st Century. Bring it back in to your work today with Hot Plate Bats!The entire Hot Plate family, including Hot Plate Bats, is included the Take Type 5 collection from Linotype GmbH.
German designers Timo Brauchle and Nico Hensel designed this family of ten fun fonts (plus a companion symbol font, Hot Plate Bats) in 2002.
The letters in these fonts are reminiscent of old rub-down vinyl lettering, which could be easily distorted by hand pressure, and the movement of the rub-down sheet before a letter was completely on the page underneath. Type set in one of Hot Plate's ten text fonts will give your document an instant ransom-note-like effect, without requiring you to sort through multiple fonts. However, as this extensive family includes ten letter-based fonts, which are all slightly different from each other, you should consider further mixing and matching. The possibilities within the family are endless; your document could have almost no two same-appearing letters! If you are looking for a grunge font with a high degree of combination and interchangeability, the Hot Plate family is for you. The entire Hot Plate family, including the matching Hot Plate Bats symbol font, is included in the Take Type 5 collection from Linotype GmbH.
