BROWSEFLIPPIE RUNNER is an abbreviation of “Flip Hippie Runner,” suggesting the kind of people who always stay positive, optimistic and progressive in any situation. The inspiration for the font design is mainly drawn from the Bauhaus school that originated with architect Walter Gropius, who in 1919 founded the Staatliches Bauhaus (National Bauhaus art school) in Germany. In German, “Bau” means building, and “Haus” means house. He sought a new organization of designers for a creative concept that did away with overly ornate architecture in favor of a practical and functional aesthetic. With this utopian ideal, Bauhaus flipped the way the world defined aesthetics, and the school continues to influence architecture, art, industrial design and even fashion until today.
