Red Tape is three fonts that were designed by sticking letters together with red tape.
It makes for a wonderful makeshift set of fonts. And I really enjoyed sticking those letters together. Of course I did it on screen using bits and pieces of scanned red tape.
Just use it as you like, I won’t give you any red tape in how to use the fonts.
“Red Tape” is since February 2012 on permanent display in the “German National Library” – next to the likes of “Bodoni”, “Garamond” and “Helvetica” – being part of the exhibition about type through the ages.
