Hinko

Hinko Smrekar, a Slovenian painter and illustrator, was renowned for his caricatures, political drawings, book covers, and theatre posters. Born in 1883 in Ljubljana, he was killed by Italian fascists in 1942. Known for his political caricatures, he often used hand-drawn typographies in his posters. Influenced by Viennese Secession, his typography also represent an unique style. Font Hinko, based on his exhibition poster, predates WWII yet resembles the vibe of 1980s black metal bands.
