Corpid C1 About
4/5
The name Corpid derives from Corporate Identity, which is what this family of low-contrast sans-serifs was made for. Corpid was originally commissioned by Studio Dumbar in the Netherlands as a corporate typeface for the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fishing. The font was designed to replace the existing standard typeface (a well-known businesslike sans-serif) to provide the organization with a unique and strong identity. Although it was designed to fit strict technical requirements, Corpid has a personality all of its own. This was in part a result of what Luc(as) calls » creating tension « between the inner and outer curves of each character. » I tend to put a little more diagonal contrast into fonts than is the case in most neutral sans serif fonts. This brings a certain humanistic touch to the typeface. Much more subtle here than in Thesis – but although it is almost invisible, it is still palpable. « Corpid, orginally known as Agro Sans, as presented in the Corporate Identity manual of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fishing (Studio Dumbar, 1997).
Three widths. Corpid has Normal, SemiCondensed and Condensed widths. The latter was originally developed for Amnesty International Germany’s magazine and made available to them for free.

Luc(as) de Groot Biography
14
Luc(as) de Groot
Berlin-based Dutch type designer Luc(as) de Groot has worked with and for many wellknown companies and publications. He has made custom fonts for prestigious newspapers such as Folha de S.Paulo, Le Monde, Metro and Der Spiegel in addition to creating corporate type for international companies including Sun Microsystems, Bell South, Heineken, Siemens and Miele. He designed two font families for Microsoft: the ‘monospaced’ font family Consolas, the new alternative to Courier; and Calibri, the new default typeface in MS Word. From 1983 to 1988 Luc(as) de Groot studied at the graphic design department of the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) in The Hague, where his most influential teacher was Gerrit Noordzij. De Groot founded his own type foundry, LucasFonts, in 2000. Its aim, in a few words: to make the world a better place by designing typefaces that look good and work well under any circumstances and in many languages. Graphic designers across the planet have discovered the special qualities of Luc(as)’ fonts.
They are attracted by their functionality and friendly appearance and love the enormous range of possibilities that each family offers. Many also appreciate the idiosyncrasies – a quest for extremes that has resulted in some of the narrowest, thinnest, wittiest or boldest typefaces around.
