Cultural/Context information for the jury

Reporters Without Borders Germany is dedicated to the fight for press freedom worldwide – which is under pressure more than ever: Every year, more critical newspapers around the world are shut down by oppressive regimes, with a record high of over 300 newspapers banned in 2017. Every newspaper has it’s own recognizable custom house font. Together with renown typography experts, we recreated the custom house fonts of six shut down newspapers from around the world. Then, we gave the fonts to major German newspapers who used them in their issue along with matching articles, to bring the banned newspapers back to life stronger than ever.
