Brutal Types in Conversation with The Brand Identity

We’re thrilled to share that Brutal Types has been interviewed by The Brand Identity! In this feature, we discuss the ideas and research behind our ongoing project to uncover and revive Europe’s forgotten interwar letterforms. The conversation explores our fascination with vernacular design, the process of translating architectural and sculptural lettering into digital type, and the collaborative work that drives Brutal Types forward.
