Wim Hendrik Crouwel is an influential typeface designer who was born in Groningen in 1928. His most famous designs include New Alphabet, which was made up of only horizontal and vertical strokes, Fodor Alphabet, and Gridnik, which was an octagonal typeface made for a typewriter that was never released. The font "Atmosphere," by Jay Vidheecharoen was inspired by Wim Crouwel's New Alphabet, and Jonathan Hill's "LineWire" is an octagonal typeface based on Wim Crouwel's work.
