About
The Northern Block type foundry was created by Jonathan Hill in 2006 with the goal to design new and original typefaces. Today the company is recognised for producing modernist work with a clean, geometric aesthetic that appeals to the latest breed of font buyers including, electronic manufacturers, mobile application developers and video game designers. In 2013, MyFonts voted the Bauhaus-inspired font Corbert amongst the most popular san's serif designs.
