ABOUT

A.P. Møller---Maersk AS

Reporting on a legal letter I received for marketing a font called Marsek. A Google search quickly reveals that I am not marketing any fonts, that I am in general not related to any of the designers on my site and that the real designer, E.R. Florendia, is based in Blitar, Indonesia. So, poor research on the part of the lawyers representing their client.

Somehow, the world should know about the constant harrassment people face from big corporations. I can only imagine the wars companies wage between themselves. Anyway, under the alias Mocosans, Florendia created a typeface called Marsek in 2018 and offered it for free download on some sites, and for a small fee on other sites. It appears to be made based on the six letters of the logo of the Maersk company---a logo designed in June 1972 in Denmark by Acton Bjørn. Maersk was not happy about that. And then, on March 11, 2022, I received a legal letter.
