Kate Moss has a fragrance, a clothing line, and a rock star boyfriend.
Now she also has her own font.
The Creative Review reports that graphic designers Peter Saville and Paul Barnes have worked with Ms. Moss to create a letterhead that will extend beyond her TopShop collection into all of her future projects.
Originally, they were going to go with Kate’s handwriting, but didn’t like the way “Moss” looked, so instead they grabbed vintage issues of Harper’s Bazaar from the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. The Kate Moss Font is a variation on the type they saw there, which was created by Alexey Brodovitch, an early mentor of Richard Avedon.
We love the font, though we’re surprised it’s not skinnier.

mmmm. can’t say I love this at all. it’s assymetric, the curlicues don’t really work. I don’t know, I wouldn’t use it.

I took a photography class with Brodovitch in the early 60′s in Avedon’s studios. He was art editor of Vanity Fair for many years.
I think there are a lot of tensions in the font because of the asymmetry and curlicues, and I like it.
He had a wry sense of humor. He also might have been parodying the New Yorker Magazine’s font at the time. Bauhaus and others were creating fonts all over the place in the Twenties.

another non original idea from moss, can’t she think up anything on her own, without the help from previous designs and magazine font? get real!

the moss typeface is pretty original if you consider that most typographic design is ispired by or based on earlier forms. i agree its a little too girly for kate. in any case it’s a nice design.

I would’ve thought that the only font she could approve of would be bar codes of cocaine.
