Type layout

I have been looking at examples of grid systems and the way in which the typography has been laid out on current design work. Below are some swiss poster designs that show the many different styles and ways that typography can be used. I am drawn towards the use of 'hanging' typography (this can be seen on the first image, on the two posters on the right hand side). Some of the typography can also be seen at different angles, allowing it to morph into random shapes. 









With my typeface that i have designed being based around the shape of a hexagon, i thought of using one of the face's for the typography to run off like shown in the image above. This way the menu title 'Mutton Quad' and the typography used on the inner pages will connect better with one another.
