Berton Hasebe's squarish, commanding display sans drawn for T: The New York Times Style Magazine's 2018 redesign, with Condensed, Poster and Wide companions.
About
A four-width display sans drawn by Berton Hasebe with Tim Ripper, originally created as Kippenberger for the 2018 redesign of T: The New York Times Style Magazine when the publication shifted from image-led to text-led. Seven weights run from Thin to Black with italics across Review, Review Condensed, Review Poster and Review Wide. Overshoots are sheared off and exterior curves blunted, producing strong horizontal bands of letters that evoke embossing type while staying legible. Suits magazines, fashion, culture and identity systems that want a commanding voice.
