The designer, Nick Cooke, said: A couple of years ago whilst leafing through a typographic magazine a Japanese typeface jumped out and hit me in the face! This brute of a design was to be the inspiration for FF Penguin. I believe it was cut out of paper – it was crude and simple, but also sophisticated and very beautiful. I wondered if I could utilize the basic shapes it used; very rounded convex curves and straight lines. Well, after many drawings I finally refined it to its present state and now it has evolved into this family. I would advise that it should be set track 0. Use all versions as LARGE AS POSSIBLE.
