From the transition to the classical music to historical events that changed the world - like the fall of Berlin's Wall or Tienanmen Square's protests - it may seem surprising seeing that a revolutionary font appeared in revolutionary time. However, these changes shaped our society, and everything could have started from just a small typeface.
