Jung von Matt followed the new trend and, like many agencies, used an original and creative practice to focus on its target and be able to discover a talented professional who could suit its human resource research. So, as you have seen, a custom font was created, then the agency transformed it into a proper job advertisement and disseminated it via different portals and websites from where you can download free creative fonts.
