About

Talk about the United Nations: several of the uppercase letters are based on letterforms I saw in the National Museum of American Art on a Swedish poster for the film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (hence the name). The balance of the alphabet is based on German “Block” lettering designed by Louis Oppenheim for the H. Berthold A.G. foundry in the 1920’s. The clean, simple lines make this font suitable for text composition as well as headlines.
