Garth Walker, founder of Orange Juice Design and iJusi magazine, and now founder of Mister Walker, was asked by Korean designer Ang Sang-Soo to design a font for the first Korean Typography Biennale about 10 years ago. Sang-Soo asked Walker for an “African” font, but there was just no such thing. Instead, Walker designed a font based on his interest in experimental lettering in Roman type. The font, entitled Winky, is a bondage-inspired font that has been published globally, but has rarely been seen in South Africa.
