They may not be a household name, but the chances are that you have seen the work of The Northern Block.
This week is a busy one for the collaborative type foundry, based just outside Newcastle. It’s hitting the big screen and releasing a new version of one of its most influential fonts.
The big screen debut comes for its Corbert Wide font, which is being used for some graphic titles in The Beatles: Get Back – The Rooftop Concert, which airs on IMAX screens in London and the US, before going nationwide later in the month. It also appeared in the main Disney+ documentary series.
Even so, it’s not their most famous piece of work.
