About NeoFeudalism Font Family


Experiencing a talk by Max Keiser (the host of The Keiser Report, a financial program broadcast on the media channel RT that features heterodox economics) he explained where he thinks the economy is heading. �??Neo-Feudalism�?? was his opening statement and this caught my attention!

He further stated: �??The Technocrats are now busy destroying the middle class through stripping them bare of any savings and property with the lock-down pandemic laws�??. Stay at home by Government order (or get arrested for working in an office with others!) and earn nothing until you are evicted or your property is confiscated through foreclosure rules from the landlord. Their idea is to strip everybody of all property�??period. Remove all the pieces off the Monopoly board so that there is nothing in which to invest. This is how Feudalism arrived so rapidly in the first world, which I never ever expected. Who would believe that this could happen in the richest countries in the world?

Wikipedia states:
�??Neofeudalism�?? is a theorized contemporary rebirth of policies of governance, economy, and public life reminiscent of those present in many feudal societies, such as unequal rights and legal protections for common people and for nobility.

The concept of �??neofeudalism�?� may focus on economics. Among the issues claimed to be associated with the idea of neofeudalism in contemporary society are class stratification, globalization, neoconservative foreign policy, mass immigration/illegal immigration, open borders policies, multinational corporations, and �??neo-corporatism�?�

I decided to design a font which depicts the period towards which we are heading. A narrow humanist sans serif font developed through a synthesis with black letter and a Benton �??narrow style sans�??. You can clearly see the black letter DNA in the silhouette of this font used for this booklet. You might ask yourself, �??why these two fonts?�?�. Black letter and a narrow sans serif, an unlikely pairing, which is exactly why these two fonts are ironically perfect. Together in their differences, they create contrast and form, some sort of opposites and dialogue in the font. Together they brandish deconstruction and thus expose and highlight the meaning behind the font�??the chaos of todays�?? world.

Black letter as used in The Guttenberg Bible, will always remind me of feudalism during the Dark Ages and sans serif will go down as the most important font style used to promoted excessive consumerism in the past few decades. Just as the Dark Ages came to an end, I have no doubt that consumerism has too.

Iaan Bekker, a typography specialist, remarks that it is interesting that both font styles are German of origin. This coincidence is interesting but not part of my criteria for a selection. It is, however, a remarkable concurrence of circumstances with apparent causal connection�??perhaps more unintended parallelism than coincidence.

My ultimate font choice was based on the leading fonts of the two periods in time but through discussion and reflection have melded into perfectly opposing synchronicity.
