The Face of a Nation Font is a unique typeface used as the official signage for the Constitutional Court of South Africa and the Constitution Hill Trust, which operates as We the People South Africa.[1]

Inscription of "Constitutional Court" in 11 of the 12 official languages of South Africa using Font of a Nation.

It was designed in 2004 by Garth Walker, an artist who developed the font using letterforms, numerals, graffiti and 'street type' surrounding the Constitution Hill precinct.[2] It has become the official identifier of the Constitutional Court. It is used for all its branding and marketing communication.[3] It is also the font used to design the official emblem of the Constitution Hill Trust, operating as We the People South Africa. For public display of the typeface, the words "Constitutional Court" are inscribed in 11 of the 12 official languages of South Africa in colours of alternating shades that were drawn from the South African flag,[4] on a concrete façade above the west-facing entrance to the Constitutional Court.[5] The typeface is known to represent South African constitutionalism.[4]
