Fevzi Yazici
Fevzi Yazici was the award-winning design director of Zaman, the daily newspaper in Istanbul, now closed. He was the design director of Zaman, the award-winning newspaper in Istanbul. In 2016, after an abortive coup, 47 journalists from Zaman were arrested and accused of complicity. Yazici and his colleagues were convicted, and the newspaper was closed. He was sentenced to life in prison; that sentence was later reduced to eleven years. Held in the notorious Silivri prison, 90 kilometers from Istanbul, Fevzi Yazici designed a Victorian typeface with a pencil in his dimly lit solitary-confinement cell and named it Firdevs for his wife. The drawings were digitized by Dyana Weissman, Type Networks' custom type director, and Firdevs is now available from Dyana's foundry, Kerns & Cairns. |
