ABOUT

GRUNT [Hans Munk]

In 2008, Hans Munk (GRUMT, Frederiksberg, Denmark) digitized Jan Tschichold's typeface Zeus for and at Pleks, and called it Pleks Zeus. No downloads or sales. More on Zeus. He quotes Tschichold on his page: Personally I am sick and tired of making typefaces. Essentially, in my opinion, it is not a task of typography. I have done two others apart from Zeus, but only to earn money, and at that time I really had to do it. I find new typefaces fundamentally and absolutely superflous. In the best cases, new typefaces have a monetary effect, and that is really quite minimal. What we make should be lasting, but: primum vivere... The production of new types is only a 'necessity' within capitalism. Where advertising is transformed into scientific communication the typeface nonsense is pointless.
