Insignia™由英国平面设计大师Neville Brody设计，最初于1986年用作Arena杂志的标题字体，于1989年由Linotype以字体的形式发行。
Insignia具有结构怪诞的基本形式，且受到20世纪30年代Bauhaus字体的影响。 其单线、圆润尖锐的字形反映了那个时代的时代精神，暗示着技术和进步。
然而，与Brody的其他字体一样，Insignia作为计算机时代最时髦、最尖端的经典字体之一，也可以瞬间被识别。字母E，F和Z有半个衬线；字母P和R上压缩的字碗；更宽大的J；以及一个由量角器形状的部件制成的S。 Linotype提供Brody的四种原始字体：Insignia，Insignia Industria Solid，Industria Inline和Arcadia。他的设计因其创新的风格获得了国际认可，几乎达到了崇拜的地位。
Insignia™ was designed by British graphic design guru Neville Brody, originally as a headline face for Arena magazine in 1986, and released as a font by Linotype in 1989. Insignia has the basic forms of constructed grotesque fonts and was influenced by the New Typography of the Bauhaus during the 1930s. Its monoline, round-and-sharp forms reflect the Zeitgeist of that age, suggesting technology and progress.
Yet, like other Brody fonts, Insignia is also immediately recognizable as one of the hip, cutting-edge classics of our own computer era. The alternate font has half-serifs on the E, F, and Z; squeezed bowls on the P and R; a wider J; and an S made from protractor-shaped parts.
Four original Brody fonts are available from Linotype: Insignia, Insignia Industria Solid, Industria Inline and Arcadia. His designs have received international recognition for their innovative style, reaching almost cult status."
