MCP:
How did you first see the Joy Division cover?
WC:
In a magazine and on the internet. Somebody kindly took the letters and made them more legible, which of course wasn’t the original idea! Eventually I worked with David Quay at The Foundry to make the New Alphabet a fully working typeface. He had approached me to see if i would be interested in working on it and because all the drawings existed for this it was possible. My father was a draughtsman and he had drawn up all the letters for me based on my sketches, so it was very possible to work on this to make it a full typeface. They [The Foundry] also worked to develop Gridnik, which started life as a commission for Olivetti typewriters. Myself, Joseph Müller-Brockmann and another designer were each commissioned to develop a typeface for the interchangeable balls for the typewriters, but in the end these were not used. So, I had had the drawings for Gridnik for 20 or 30 years, and David Quay developed it for release, as well as creating the missing letters and the different weights now available. I’m not a typeface designer, so I needed to work with someone to complete the typeface.
Και πολύ καλά κάνεις!
