ReVisited/ReDesigned/ReInvented.

This is a brand new re-designed version of an existing typeface I designed last year, BAQ Rounded. The old original typeface had a lot of imperfections, jagged corner jilts, and uneven angles. So, I have taken another look at the typeface over the last couple of weeks, and tuned all imperfections, corners, and other elements.

The original face only featured uppercase letters, this new and improved full version has a complete set of 255 characters, including digits and full ascii characters. Manually kerned it is perfect for headline, creative, and presentation work, digital and print. The outline version offers a professional way to print, probably having found yourself if you stroke a typeface and send it to print, nightmares often happen. So the outline version is fully drawn, this is not a stroked version of the original face at all.

Adbusters launched One Flag, inviting designers all over the world to create a flag that embodies the idea of global citizenship.

Design is at war with itself. We are taught that design is about finding solutions. But the success of these solutions is judged so narrowly – Did it ooze desire? Did it shift units? – that we find ourselves implicated in problems far greater than the ones we solve.

Adbusters is a political magazine that deals with social, media, and cultural issues.
