Kate Moss to create own handwriting
Share this Story
Kate Moss is stepping the boundaries of celebrities trends. She's creating her own font.
While there do not seem to be immediate plans for the font, some reports suggest Moss's new fragrance, due out next year, will be the launching pad for her special typographic design.
Designed by typographer Paul Barnes in collaboration with graphic designer Peter Saville, Kate's font is reported to be sleek and black.
Typographers say the font, which lacks capital letters, could bring a wave of celebrity fonts to the open market.
"Moss may not have personally created the font but her personality comes through in the final design," Neville says.
"It's a pretty typeface with the leg of the K that goes down below the baseline and the double S is nice as well.
"In the spirit of what Kate Moss embodies, it's a modernist outlook."
Moss and the typeface's designers may have some trouble releasing the font as Moss herself did not create it, so cannot retain full copyright over the design.
"To the extent that it [the font] is modified, she may have copyright over it," Neville said.
