Druk Type Specimen and Operation of Impending Doom
This type specimen highlights the Druk family, while pairing it with the Nickelodeon’s cult classic, Invader Zim.
Druk was designed by Berton Hasebe and published through Commercial Type in 2014. Hasebe created Druk for Richard Turley in 2013 to adapt to the new style for the Etc. section in Bloomberg Businessweek. Druk is categorized as a display sans serif for its expressive and unconventional widths. The typeface has the narrowest, heaviest, and widest letterforms compared to other typefaces in their foundry. It was intentionally designed without a normal width and with medium as the lightest weight. This typeface gave designers the freedom to mix the different fonts together to be expressively loud, especially with the italics because the letterforms are sloped to the same angle.
