Eino Korkala
Helsinki-based graduate of the TypeMedia program at the KABK in The Hague in 2017. His graduation typeface at KABK was Chariots of Fire (2017): Theatrical, grandiose and historically inaccurate. Chariots of Fire is a costume drama in a typeface. My mission was to mix various expressive styles within the same family, and see how far I could take it. This journey brought about 4 weights called Style, Class, Flair & Panache: a roman for display, a roman for text, the italic companion and one extended joker-face. Also, there is a set of small caps with suddenly no serifs. I wanted to dedicate this piece of work to Vangelis, but accidentally purchased a picture of Demis Roussos instead. Chariots of Fire is currently unreleased and will probably stay that way. |
