Über die Familie


Remarque was inspired by the logo for The Persuaders!, a British television series starring Tony Curtis and Roger Moore as ill-matched adventurers. Initially broadcast on ITV and ABC in 1971, it was produced by the inimitable Lew Grade for ITC Entertainment.

The logo is based on a typeface called Dreamline, published as part of Mecanorma’s rub-down lettering range in 1969. This in turn was inspired by the lettering found on posters by Alfred Roller, a Vienna Secession artist and designer working in the early 1900s. These curvilinear Art Nouveau forms again found favour in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Remarque is not a faithful revival but takes the underlying structure and irons out some of the ambiguities in the source material, straightening counters and curves and tapering uprights. The result is a playful modern compact font with many alternate characters and a set of interlocking ligatures.

A set of tiled abstract shapes are also included, available from the Glyphs palette. These can be used as decorative extras or repeated to generate patterns.

Stylish, lively and bold, it lends itself to packaging, merchandise, confectionery and posters.

Über Device

Device Fonts is the font arm of Rian Hughes’ Device studio, based in West London. An early contributor to FontShop’s FontFont range, Device Fonts was launched in 1997 to carry Hughes’ growing library. It has since released over 250 original typefaces covering more than 1500 individual weights, including custom designs for clients as diverse as Mac User, 2000AD and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rian studied at the London College of Communication in London before working for an advertising agency, Smash Hits, i-D magazine and a series of record sleeve design companies. Under the studio banner Device, he now provides design, custom type and illustration for advertising campaigns, record sleeves, book jackets, graphic novels and television. He has designed posters for Tokyo fashion company Jun Co.’s Yellow Boots chain, the animated on-board safety film for Virgin Airlines, Eurostar’s poster campaign, a collection of Hawaiian shirts, a range of watches for Swatch, an award-winning brochure for MTV Europe’s Music Awards, and numerous book jacket illustrations and CD covers. He has designed hundreds of logos for DC, Marvel, Valiant, Image and other comic book companies for such titles as Batman, the X-Men, James Bond, The Avengers and Spider-Man. Long connected with the world of comics, Rian Hughes' first graphic novel was The Science Service for Belgian publisher Magic Strip. This was followed by Dare for IPC’s short-lived Revolver, an “iconoclastic revamp of the ’50s comic hero Dan Dare”, written by Grant Morrison. His strips from the Galaxy’s Greatest have been collected in Yesterday’s Tomorrows (Dare, Really and Truly plus others) and Tales from Beyond Science (written by Mark Millar, John Smith and Alan McKenzie). More recently he wrote and drew a Batman: Black and White tale, contributed to Vertigo: Magenta, designed the map of the DC Multiverse and was reunited with Morrison for several stories in Heavy Metal magazine. He has contributed to numerous international exhibitions, lectured widely both in the UK and internationally, and a one-man show of his work was held in 2003 the Conningsby Gallery, London. A retrospective monograph, Art, Commercial was published in 2002, and Ten Year Itch, a celebration of the first ten years of Device Fonts, was published in 2005.

More recently he has published three novels which incorporate design and typography as an integral part of the narrative: XX, The Black Locomotive and The Absence. He has an extensive collection of Thunderbirds memorabilia, a fridge full of vodka, and a stack of easy listening albums which he plays very quietly. The Premium foundry page can be viewed Here.
