Zodiac SansGreenpeace

Zodiac Sans is an open source, display typeface Inkahoots designed especially for Greenpeace as part of their global identity guidelines. The typeface was inspired by the distinctive forms of the inflatable boats used by Greenpeace activists ever since their 1970’s duels with Russian whalers.

Zodiac Sans is a rationalised contemporary condensed grotesque with geometric counters, slanted terminals and rounded corners. A Stencil version extends the font’s expressive potential. 

The font builds on a number of existing open source typefaces. We invite Greenpeace supporters in the open-source and type design community to contribute to its development by extending the weights and language set. Greenpeace has further developed a version as Greenpeace Sans. The fonts are free to use and share but are not licensed for commercial use.

Thanks to Alexander Nedelev at Typedepot in Bulgaria for help with the Cyrillic characters
