It seems that they creator of the font used on the Home Office's Racist Van was not licensed for use.

Quote:
Designer Fabien Delage claims the Home Office has used his Plane Crash typeface for the campaign, without paying him or requesting a licence.

He says the ‘Go Home or Face Arrest’ wording is rendered in the Plane Crash font.

Delage says, ‘I found out that the Home Office was using my font thanks to British graphic designer James Jessiman, who told me he recognised the typeface printed two-feet high on vans.’

Does this mean he will seize the vans as compensation for copyright infringement? :lol:
