The font used in the Kigali logo was originally drawn by world renowned calligrapher Arthur Baker. This elegant yet powerful design was developed and expanded into a family of typefaces by Diane Collier in 1994.
Since the letter forms had an African feel, we wanted an African name. We decided on "Kigali" after the capitol city in Rwanda and in memory of the horrible genocide that took place there that year. A percentage of sales from the initial release of the fonts went to aid organizations.
Although primarily for display use, Kigali also works well as text where it's impact and character make a bold statement. The Kigali family of typefaces consist of regular, italic, block and zig-zag designs and is available at many of the large type foundries.
For more information on Kigali fonts and other calligraphic styles or to purchase ($25 each weight or $160 for the complete family of 8 weights) please contact Kigali Designs. |
