2018 would have been Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday. To commemorate the occasion, a travelling exhibition called Mandela: My Life was created, and ATF was asked to create a typeface based on Mandela’s handwriting, which was unique in it’s quirky style. Rather than recreate Mandela’s hand — which would have been difficult to read — we interpreted the lively but convoluted shapes into a typeface suitable for the purpose. The finished font included a number of special-purpose ligatures and was used in titles and quotations throughout the exhibition.
