TYPEKITS N/A
limepickle.net
Whether you admit it
or not, everyone’s got
a favourite font. Maybe
it’s Helvetica – strong
and stable. Or perhaps
the blocky Futura. You
could also be a maniac
and Comic Sans is the
one for you – we’re not
judging, but you may
need professional help.
Artist and designer Mark
Jenkinson has taken
a selection of typefaces
and reimagined them
as beautiful football kits.
Nothing is arbitrary, right
down to Futura’s four
World Cup stars, the
font created by German
Paul Renner. “Developing
the crests was fun,” says
Jenkinson, “in order to
make them authentic
enough.” TypeKits is the
2019 collaboration we
didn’t know we needed.NIKE
