The BST team delved into Yinka's diverse influences like musical culture, architectural motifs, Nigerian folk vernaculars, and contemporary popular culture to shape their letterforms for a typeface.
Yinka described the created typeface as narrating a story of diversity, unorthodoxy, and bold expression of joy, true to his identity and visual code, which the BST team found to be special and unique.
The decision to create the typeface in two cuts, Sans Ultra and Sans Shadow, was influenced by Yinka's past use of shadow effects in his work, aiming to expand on his visual techniques for enhanced visual distinction.
Yinka Sans, with stylistic sets, is seen as a versatile toolkit for Yinka's creative practice, pushing the boundaries of creativity, using type design as a tool for individual expression and storytelling.
