Panos Haratzopoulos
Born in Athens in 1967, Panagiotis Haratzopoulos holds a degree in Graphic Design from the Technological Educational Institute of Athens and an MA in Graphic Fine Arts from the University of Kent, England. In 1995, he established fonts.gr (originally Cannibal) with Yannis Kouroudis, a digital font foundry he still runs today with Yannis Karlopoulos and Vassilis Georgiou.
Next to designing original fonts for museums, companies or state organisations in Greece, Panos soon started to collaborate with other foundries on Greek extensions. His first extensions for Lineto were Greek drawings for LL Le Corbusier (2009), LL Gravur Condensed (2011), and LL Akkurat (2012, later revised and released in 2019).
From 2010 to 2018, Panos taught Typography at the University of Western Attica (formerly TEI of Athens). From 2013 to 2018 he pursued Project Stella with Yannis Karlopoulos and Vassilis Georgiou. A study of forgotten art of greek calligraphy from the 1950s through 1970s, the project resulted in the production of original typefaces now vastly used in Greek packaging and signage.
Panos also continued to collaborate with Lineto, drawing Greek counterparts for LL Brown (2019) and for the soon-to-be-released LL Grey.
