The Neue Black

  • Lashun Tines
  • Tré Seals

Black History Month is an annual celebration of the history and achievements of African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of Blacks in U.S. history. To commemorate the first Black History Month of the new decade, we collaborated with Tre Seals on "The Neue Black". The Neue Black is a typeface based on the signage of Martin Luther King Jr's and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) Chicago Freedom Movement, a campaign that marked the expansion of their civil rights activities from the South to northern cities. The Neue Black font is available for free throughout Black History Month and can be downloaded at https://www.vocaltype.co/history-of/the-neue-black (link in bio) .
