Midnight Circus

We've just completed some new Balkan Connection album art for a new release from Inspired. Midnight Circus uses the typeface Broadgauge Ornate designed by Michael Hagemann. Paired with some distressed and dimensional "circus-tent" artwork. Broadgauge Ornate has an eerie, yet exciting feel to it which we thought interpreted the notion of a Midnight Circus quite well. It's also reminiscent of circus poster typography from the late 1800s. We landed on this color palette fairly quickly as the background artwork tends to appear to spin and bounce around on-screen. Again, fulfilling the idea of a Midnight Circus.

Midnight Circus will be available exclusively at Beatport.com within the next few weeks.
