World Cup
Watching the Italy v Paraguay game, I was frequently distracted by the nice type on their shirts. Twitter revealed the answer:
@ilovetypography Italy’s shirts use a custom typeface called Crepello, designed by our very own Paul Barnes for Puma. #worldcup

Well, looks like all creatives noticed the obvious difference of the Italy’s shirts and the rest of the team… It was strikingly stylish and fashionable

I love it! I wish the Mexican team would have gone with something better designed… their shirts are ugly…
