FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Sarah Shorten Johannesburg, South Africa-based designer of the artificial language font Fook regular (2016). It is based on Fook Island Script, which was drawn and invented ca. 1965 by Walter Battiss (1906-1982) for his imaginary Fook Island. Sarah Shorten was briefed to develop the script into a digital font, for its 50th anniversary on the occasion of the exhibition Walter Battiss: "I invented myself" at Wits Art Museum (WAM), Johannesburg, 2016. The font, Fook Regular, was applied to a broadside or type specimen poster and featured in an essay of Battiss's manuscript lettering.
