American Grotesk - Kelvin Soh, FDINZ, DDMMYY; Kris Sowersby, FDINZ, Klim Type Foundry.

A campaign for the launch of American Grotesk®, a reprisal of Franklin Gothic, which has staked its place as a key part of American graphic vernacular history, notably in persuasive communication.

Like Bollywood in relation to Hollywood, this is an America seen from a non-American perspective, an outsider's cocktail of cultural deconstruction and satire — commentary and comedy — inspired by Colors magazine, Adbusters and S.N.L.
