007 Grotesk
Karajan Type Foundry · Karel Haloun, Petr Kudláček, Jan Arndt
A tall grotesque commissioned for the new identity of Klub 007 Strahov, Prague's oldest surviving music venue, with an extended glyph set built around programme typesetting.
About
Designed as part of a broader identity project by Karel Haloun, Petr Kudláček and Jan Arndt, the typeface draws on the visual language of period programme leaflets assembled on a simple grid. Its proportionally tall construction suits both monthly programme sheets and headline display use. Distinctive additions include discretionary ligatures for international registration codes, day-name abbreviations, genre and activist pictograms, and an extended set of arrows.
