Block Berthold Condensed Regular by Adobe is a font based on the Charlie Hebdo title logo.
Berthold Block is a bold sans-serif typeface created by Hermann Hoffmann in 1908 for the H. Berthold AG foundry. Its thick, geometric letterforms give it a robust and industrial look, ideal for impactful headlines and posters. Its enduring appeal has made it a staple in both vintage and modern design.
Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical magazine known for its provocative and controversial content, often targeting religion, politics, and social issues. Founded in 1970, it has built a reputation for fearless critique and biting humor, embracing freedom of expression. However, its irreverence has sparked significant backlash, including accusations of insensitivity and Islamophobia. In January 2015, the magazine became the target of a terrorist attack, when gunmen stormed its Paris office, killing 12 people, including prominent cartoonists. The attack highlighted global debates about free speech, tolerance, and extremism. Despite the tragedy, Charlie Hebdo continues to publish, upholding its commitment to satire. While its approach divides opinion, with supporters praising its courage and critics decrying its perceived offensiveness, the publication remains a symbol of the enduring tension between artistic freedom and societal boundaries.
