Fatype

Fatype is an independent type foundry established by Anton Koovit and Yassin Baggar. Fatype distributes high quality fonts and offers its know-how for the creation of exclusive taylor-made typefaces, the design of logotypes and letterings, the customisation of existing typefaces, language extensions and the optimisation of fonts for screen rendering (hinting). Anton and Yassin formed Fatype after collaborating on the creation of typefaces for GQ France and Google. Born in Estonia, Anton Koovit studied graphic design in Tallinn, Paris and Amsterdam, before settling in Berlin. He has taught typography and has given regular workshops. Yassin Baggar is of Swiss and Moroccan origins; he studied graphic design in La Chaux-de-Fonds, worked for various design studios, and now lives between Berlin and Switzerland. Both graduated from the Type and Media master at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
