We loved spotting our Greycliff CF in the pages – and pixels – of Allerhande, the free magazine of Albert Heijn, of the major supermarkets in the Netherlands. Since November 2017 it has been used for the magazine and related socials and products, alongside Quadraat by Fred Smeijers and an ever-changing selection of guest typefaces.

Greycliff CF brings friendly strength and rock-solid clarity to every page and post. Built on the legacy of classic sans serifs, it takes inspiration from mid-century design’s clean, honest geometry, updated with soft corners and humanist touches that make it warm and welcoming. With a wide range of weights, matching italics, and excellent language support, it’s a workhorse with personality – ideal for branding, editorial, packaging, and more. In print, it’s bold and grounded; on screen, it’s crisp and easy to read. No wonder it fits so naturally into Allerhande’s vibrant and accessible voice!

Brush Up by PintassilgoPrints is intensely used in a meaningful campaign for healthy school meals by Jamie Oliver from some years ago.

Te Reo Māori educational resource that focuses on the events of the 1981 Springbok tour of New Zealand. The resource was designed to engage year 11–13 students and provoke them to explore the concept of social consciousness, while improving their research and literacy skills.

The typeface selection was unbound by any identity guidelines. A custom font wasn't an option within the budget (and skill levels!), so Brush Up was selected to represent the protesters’ hand-painted signs that were a symbol of the tour. Jockey was chosen for its bold geometric quirkiness, and was used to avoid hand-painted overkill from Brush Up for secondary headers and infographics. Stag’s texture felt right for the running text in the students’ resource, and Graphik was used for the complimentary captions and instructional text within the teacher’s guide.

The full kit includes a class set of student resource books (Te Reo Māori), teacher resource (bilingual) with picture card pack, DVDs of Patu! and Try Revolution, and the containing box. Published by Huia, the book won the Edify Award for Best Educational Book 2017 in the PANZ Book Design Awards.
