Abstract Office (was: Subtext Office) [Benjamin Woodlock] Benjamin Woodlock (Subtext Office, Los Angeles, CA) designed Utopique in 2014. Utopique is a revival of a flared passionate French sans-serif designed by Enric Crous-Vidal---known for his promotion of Latin seductive elements in typefaces---in the early 1960s. And a mere two weeks after its release, Utopique had to be renamed Anomique, undoubtedly because of an oligopolistic complaint by Adobe to protect its trademarked name Utopia. In 2013, he designed the 3-style custom typeface McBean for the California Institute of the Arts as an extension to the school's branding. McBean was expanded to sixteen styles in 2017 for general release, including McBean Sans, Slab, Italic and Beast. Later typefaces: Reynaldo (Reynaldo is an athletic slab-serif trained for confident display typography. Reynaldo is inspired by the antics of 19th century Clarendons with traces of industrial signage, from wrought-iron details to layered brush-strokes), Safety Gothic (a bold octagonal typeface).
