About

Designed for the 2013 retooling of the style and culture-focused Etc. section of Bloomberg Businessweek, Druk Wide is first and foremost an homage to the way Dutch graphic designers of the early- to mid-20th century commonly used wide, bold sans serifs to add a strong typographic hierarchy to their work, including Willem Sandberg’s catalogs for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
