About

Designed by John Downer and released through Emigre in 1999, Council is built for large-scale headline and identity use. The accompanying Word Logos sets — pre-drawn letter combinations covering the full alphabet — extend the family into ready-made logotype territory. The offering reflects Downer's background in hand lettering and signage.

Classification
