30 Years Later, the Berlin Wall Graffiti Comes to Life

2019 has marked 30 years since the Berlin Wall came down, and reunited Germany as one country again. To mark the occasion, agency Heimat Berlin has made a typeface using letters from the graffiti that adorned the wall when it was still standing. Each character was digitized from photos of the actual graffiti on the Wall, which served as a canvas for artists and activists during its time. From the agency: “If walls could talk, what would the Berlin Wall say today? The typeset allows the Wall a voice and ability to make a statement about freedom.”
