Home Office accused of illegal font use on illegal immigrants campaign - by the foreign owner

[muriel_volestrangler]

Designer Fabien Delage claims the Home Office has used his Plane Crash typeface for the campaign, without paying him or requesting a licence.

He says the ‘Go Home or Face Arrest’ wording is rendered in the Plane Crash font.

Delage says, ‘I found out that the Home Office was using my font thanks to British graphic designer James Jessiman, who told me he recognised the typeface printed two-feet high on vans.’
...
He adds, ‘I create typefaces and that’s how I earn my living. I have absolutely no way to control who’s using my fonts except for freelance artists that play the game, buy the licence online and get a licence agreement from me.’

I say lock the Home Office up and throw away the key, since we can't deport them. It's the only language they understand.
