A few bold caps drawn by Albert Du Bois for the 1906 Henderson Sign Painter book started me in the direction of looking at how sign painters approached slabs after the industrial revolution. The usual happened from there. My exercise in the early lettering roots of what eventually became the definition of geometric typography ended up having a life of its own. The majuscules led to minuscules, one idiosyncratic bold weight led to six more, and uprights led to italics. What was kind-of-interesting in the early twentieth century persuaded me to make it interesting enough a century later.
Sudtipos was founded in 2002 as a collective of graphic designers passionate about type. Since the beginning, Sudtipos has delivered typographic solutions to design challenges in product packaging, advertising, and corporate identity. Over the years the group has grown in number, skills, and influence – Sudtipos faces have appeared in high-profile campaigns for Coca-Cola and Levi’s, and in the pages of The New York Times, and the group has created custom faces for international clients such as The History Channel and C&A. But the original vision of Sudtipos remains: to translate the aesthetics of culture and commerce into technically sophisticated typefaces that help creative professionals create work that impresses clients, attracts customers, and builds brands.
Sudtipos typefaces have received awards from the Type Directors Club, Communication Arts, Tipos Latinos, and others.
