About
Big Issue grew out of a single bold weight cut for The Big Issue's 30th-anniversary cover with Pentagram into a full superfamily across Narrow, Standard, Wide and XWide widths. Six weights with italics in each width give it range from bold headlines to flexible print and digital layouts, and 10% of sales go to the magazine.
Classification
