Mark van Bronkhorst
American designer Mark van Bronkhorst created the font ITC Conduit™ in 1997.
ITC Conduit was based on the letters on ordinary signage done by a non-professional. Mark van Bronkhorst took the regular but awkward forms and added his experienced sense of design and proportion ... and in the process broke almost every rule. The forms were made with a grid, “like the 90 degree corners in real conduits with all the tips and corners rounded off.” A few optical corrections produced ITC Conduit, a fairly narrow, square and highly legible sans serif typeface.
