Some time ago, the Girl Scouts of the USA approached me to discuss producing some “custom fonts” for them. Having been a scout in an earlier life and now having a young daughter about to enter into scouting, I jumped at the chance to see if I could help. I was curious where this might lead since I was familiar with Original Champions of Design’s fantastic revision to the Girl Scouts identity and their use of Joshua Darden’s ubiquitous Omnes as their everyday typeface—and I couldn’t complain with either execution, and wondered how I would fit in.
