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.

Grafik was founded in 2003 and became one of the most popular design magazines in print, but sadly ran its last issue in 2011. With the help of the global design community, we’re working alongside Grafik Media Ltd to bring Grafik back as a printed publication.
