Wholesale Posterzine® Issue 76 | Font People

This issue of Posterzine® not only showcases the incredible type foundry FontPeople, but launches a custom font for Grafik Media Ltd. The typeface named GRAFIK BLACK is a headline font designed to reflect the strong-willed and independent nature of Grafik Media. It is helping to fund the relaunch of Grafik magazine, a bi-monthly publication featuring the world’s leading graphic design and visual culture. To create the Grafik typeface, Posterzine® teamed up with FontPeople — the world’s first full-service independent type foundry. In just two years, FontPeople has grown from concept to a foundry with a 20-strong font library. Here Founder Jason Harcombe talks through the thinking behind Grafik Black, his quest for simplicity, and how his foundry is democratising type.
