Druk in use — 15 cases

What Druk is like to brand with

Druk supplies prominent typography in the campaigns, identities and book design below. Tribeca and NYU Skirball offer two approaches to scale; Snog shows it alongside photography. The source credits support these particular uses, not a claim that the family suits every display brief.

The credited combinations differ. Pentagram names Druk and Lyon in the Princeton University Press project; Aline names Druk and GT Zirkon for Snog; NYU Skirball uses Druk and Druk Wide. A second width within a family is distinct from pairing unrelated families.

When reviewing the work, compare line length, crop, density and the balance between type and image. Test a prospective setting at its intended size and medium rather than copying the scale of a project photograph.

GT Zirkon — Snog Productions

Aline credits Druk and GT Zirkon together; Druk is used for project titles.

What to check for your own project

Test the actual text, languages, numerals and smallest reading size your design needs. Compare the role of the typeface in these projects, then check the foundry’s current licence and character coverage. A project credit does not establish licensing terms, commercial results or the availability of a custom drawing in the retail family.
