LAUREN FRANK


Hi, I’m a designer based in New York City who loves typography, archives, branding, publication design, and the intersections between art and design. I am currently a Graphic Designer at The Jewish Museum and have previously worked with Pentagram, Artisan Council, Cobalt, PopShift, VICE Media, and Grüer among others.

Big fan of to-do lists, lists in general, witchcraft and feminism, weird art, choosing books by their covers, and squished typefaces.

BASTARD TYPEFACE


A display typeface lovingly named Bastard after its Gothic inspiration, as well as its additions of the “new”—pixels. The forms of Bastard are derived from a French Gothic typeface, Batarde or Bastarda, a blackletter script. The pixelated appearance shows a melding of the deep history of type with contemporary, digitized design. This combination of the old with the new, as well as the name of the original blackletter script, inspired the name Bastard.
