Papanek

Papanek is a typeface inspired by the energetic handwriting of industrial designer and social critic, Victor Papanek. It began as a commission for use in a book on Papanek by Al Gowan. While many characteristics of the design come directly from samples of Papanek’s writing, I also instilled much of my own personal influences, resulting in a style that mixes aspects of hardcore punk and skateboarding culture with 1970s DIY hippie modernism.
