Underware

I picked Underware do to its name. I think it’s funny, and it reminds me of a song. Reguardless, this is why they are important…

This type group was founded by three students from the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague, in the Netherlands. (mouthful) They started Underware in 1999, so happy 10 year anniversary guys! The coolest thing I think they have done is developed the font that can only be read with the conditions of a sauna. It has to do with the ink and paper. They also conduct many workshops that run for extremely extended ours. They thrive on the creations that are the outcomes of group collaborations.

TypeRadio is a radio station that the company hosts that utilizes one on one interviews. The website consists of media clips that are about twenty minutes long that discuss anything from new typefaces to how people got started in the type and design field.

They are the designers of the South Park font. How cool is that? The font is called Bello and it is used in the title. That font is also used on a professional soccer team, FC Honka. They also design many typefaces that are used in Germany.
