A2 Type
[Henrik Kubel]

A2-Type (or simply, A2) is a type foundry set up in the autumn of 2010 by the London based design studio A2/SW/HK. The designers are Henrik Kubel and Scott Williams. A2's bespoke type design is mainly the responsibility of Henrik Kubel, though every typeface is developed and approved by both partners. Kubel is self-taught, making his first typefaces while studying at Denmark's Design School from 1992 until 1997. Their typefaces:

• 4590
• 60 Display.
• Amplify (2013) won an award at TDC 2014.
• Antwerp (2011). A readable text family designed by Kubel during an Expert Type Design Class in 2011 at Plantin Genootschap in Antwerp.

• Foundation (2018) in Sans (Number 44, Condensed, Wide), Serif, and Serif Didot subfamilies. These are all revivals of skeletal typefaces. Foundation Sans Number 44 was inspired by Circular Gothic No. 44 (1879, Charles E. Heyer, for the Great Western Type Foundry). Foundation Sans Condensed and Foundation Sans Wide are derived from two types described as Caractères pour Marques de Linge (typefaces for marking on linen) in the Signes section of the first volume of Spécimen Général des Fonderies Deberny et Peignot (ca. 1934). Foundation Serif is based on Caractère No. 7, another Caractère pour Marques de Linge in that 1934 Deberny & Peignot specimen book. Kubel's inspiration for Foundation Serif Didot was a sheet of lettering (dated 1939) he discovered in the archive of the influential Danish architect and graphic/industrial designer Gunnar Biilmann Petersen, 1897-1968.
• Grand. A stencil typeface.
• A2 Grot 10 (2009, Henrik Kubel): a take on the Grot Series by Stephenson Blake. Grot 12 followed in 2015.

That single style original has now been expertly restored and reimagined as a contemporary typeface in multiple styles.

Approximate Type
[Kasper Pyndt Rasmussen]

Danish graphic and type designer in Copenhagen, who studied at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design (2010-2016) and The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (2014-15). In 2020, he set up Approximate Type. His typefaces:

• He made various typefaces in 2010, including a monoline sans caps face, a Peignotian high-contrast caps face, a paper fold face, and the geometric typeface Ottoman, which was part of the visual identity made for a nightclub named Ottoman, located at Dunkel in the heart of Copenhagen. Wondair (2011) is a rounded monoline logotype made for a fictituous airline. Gemini (2011) is a bilined geometric art deco typeface.
• In 2012, Pyndt designed the soft neo-grotesque Husaar, which has subtle, sharp ink-traps.

  Dalat (2013) is a typeface inspired by Vietnamese visual culture. I believe that at some point it was called Kieu. He writes about Dalat: Dalat is a typeface that looks back on Vietnam's visual history and attempts to form a synthesis of style. As French Art Deco and Russian Constructivism have been prominent actors in Vietnam, the letters are constructed in a similarly geometric way. By contrast, the soft serifs are derived from Vietnamese calligraphy whose brush strokes tend to thicken and pool towards the end.

• Clerk (2015) is a stencil display typeface based on a sign type (most likely) drawn by Samuel de Clerq in the 1920s for the savings bank of The Hague. This uppercase-only font features, among other things, an array of 'O'-ligatures as well as a flat-top '8'.
• Aguzzo (2016). A roman capitalis typeface loosely based on Aldo Novarese and Alessandro Butti's Augustea (1951).
• Celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Danish furniture design legend Hans Wegner, Tønder Museum asked Pyndt to visually interpret his work, which led to Pyndt's Wegner Alphabet depicting chairs.
• Edwin (2016?) is a text typeface drawn from the simple notion of replacing the ball-terminal with a square. A font that retains character despite its functional merits.
• Reply (2020). A neutral sans family with nearly monolinear strokes and large open counters.
• The bespoke sans typeface family Shed (2021).

Claus Eggers Sørensen

Also known by insiders as El Pato Loco Atomico. Danish type designer (b. 1973, Kulby, Vestsjalland, Denmark) who obtained his BDes from The Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, and his MA in typeface design from The University of Reading (2009), based on his type family Markant, which was specifically designed for newspapers and cares about ink traps, wide open bowls, inflection points and other special features. It supports Greek and Cyrillic as well.

He says: I created a new design again taking inspiration from the early sketches of Dwiggins' Experimental No. 223. I was able to use the very open aperture design of the e in this experiment. The a again explored a inflexion points within the counters, and this was too integrated in the design. Finally lightly rounded wedge shaped base serifs were chosen.

In 2011, Claus placed Playfair Display with Google Web Fonts. He explains: Playfair Display is a transitional design. From the time of enlightenment in the late 18th century, the broad nib quills were replaced by pointed steel pens. This influenced typographical letterforms to become increasingly detached from the written ones. Developments in printing technology, ink and paper making, made it possible to print letterforms of high contrast and fine hairlines. This design lends itself to this period, and while it is not a revival of any particular design, it takes influence from the printer and typeface designer John Baskerville's designs, the punchcutter William Martin's typeface for the Boydell Shakespeare (sic) edition, and from the Scotch Roman designs that followed thereafter. As the name indicates, Playfair Display is well suited for titling and headlines. It was followed in 2012 by Playfair Display SC. Free download at CTAN and at Open Font Library. Free download of Playfair Display Italic.

In 2014, Claus designed Inknut Antiqua, a free angular text typeface family for low resolution screens, designed to evoke Venetian incunabula and humanist manuscripts, but with the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the kinds of typefaces you find in this artisanal tradition.

Danish graphic designer, b. 1939, who was trained as a lithographer in 1961 at The Graphic College and in 2008 at Denmark's Media and Journalism College, specializing in graphic design. He then taught at the Grafische Højskole between 1966 and 1981 and set up his own drawing room with his wife Mette Mourier.

His type designs include the labyrinthine alphabet Mourier in 1971, which was revived by Sébastien Hayez in 2002 and published at the open source type foundry Velvetyne in Paris in 2011. Then, in 2020, Ukraininan designer Alex Ash (Alexander Kondratenko) proposed a Cyrillic alphabet expansion of the font, of which he had imagined the capitals. Ariel Martin Perez took this opportunity and developped lowercase letters for Latin and Cyrillic scripts (with feedback from Alex Ash for the Cyrillic), added diacritics and symbols, mastered the font and also created several sets of alternates.

e-Types

Danish foundry founded in 1997 by ex-graduates from the Denmark Design School and the Royal Art Academy. They designed a lot for corporations, such as for Framfab (Point Sans and Point Serif), the Danish Film Institute (Millton, 1998), the Källemo catalogue (Källemo) and the Danish State Archive, and are the main competitor of Kontrapunkt. After the ATypI meeting in Denmark in 2001, I learned that this is one of Denmark's main foundries. Based in Copenhagen, it sells fonts by its founders:

• Jonas Hecksher: Cendia (1997), DenmarkSerif (1998), Mega (1999), Olic (1999), Point Sans (1999), Point Serif (1999), Underton (1998), Movie (2001, a very black sans), iD:00 (2001, a sans), Fletch (1998, a sans), DeLuca (Bodoni-like, 2001), NinetySix K (2001, a serif).
• Jens Kajus: Premiere (2001, a sans).
• Rasmus Koch.
• Rasmus Drucker Ibfelt.
• Marie Lübecker.
• Adrian Täckman.

Expert Alphabets
[George Abrams]

George Abrams (b. 1919 or 1920, Brooklyn, d. 2001, Manhasset, NY) is the designer of the gorgeous font families Augereau, Abrams Caslon and Venetian, at Expert Alphabets in Great Neck, NY. Abrams taught lettering and typeface design at the Parsons School of Design, the New School for Social Research and at the Columbia University Teachers College. He had over 50 years of Madison Avenue experience designing ads, logos, typography and lettering for Fortune 500 companies and more. His early typefaces were photo types published by Headliners in New York City. He died on June 7, 2001 at age 81.

About Augereau: This is the only digitized typeface by George Abrams [in fact, the digitization is due to Charles Nix, for George Abrams]. Its 28 weights include over 2,000 sorts including expert, OsF,&alts. Augereau is named for Antoine Augereau, who was a typographer who had a few claims to fame - one was that he was Claude Garamonds teacher, and two was that he was sentenced to death for heresy in 1544. Heresy for a typographer in 1544 meant that he printed something that the king or the Pope didn't like and died for it.

I would like to thank Poul Steen Larsen for clarifying the history of Abrams' Venetian: The Abrams Venetian was donated to Mr. Poul Kristensen of Herning (in Jutland), then Printer to the Royal Court (which he has ceased to be in 1995). You are right about the font being today locked to Poul Kristensen' old Linotron, from which not even Linotype experts brought in to unlock it, could get it out for conversion into an up-to-date digital font. So the font will disappear from the type arena when Kristensens Linotron one day breaks down. You can trust me, for I was the one who established the contact between George and Mr. Kristensen back in 1986. The font was first used in 1989 in a book by Martin Lowry, British renaissance historian, with the title Venetian Printing. George Abrams' chalk drawings of the entire alphabet in regular and italic were scanned, more precisely vectorised on-screen and downloaded in Denmark by the Kristensens and therefore, in one sense, could be called the first Danish complete font. A sample of the first use of Abrams' Venetian. A second sample from "Venetian Printing". Abrams Venetian was digitized at some point by Jorgen Kristensen for Poul Kristensen Grafisk Virksomhed Printer.

Apostrophe wrote this about Abrams Caslon: This was actually reviewed by Caflish and, if I remember correctly, Mark vonBronkhorst, so there are at least 3 or 4 copies of it out there, other than the Abrams' estate original data. Sumner Stone once said that this is the best Caslon he has ever seen. At least he has seen it; I haven't.

The typefaces by Abrams (Abrams Venetian and Augereau) are preserved in the New York City-based Abrams Legacy Collection (see also here).

Florian Philipp Martin Runge

Designer in London, who was born in Flensburg (Germany) and studied for four years in Aarhus (Denmark).

He made the contemporary informal typeface Jula (2012).

Asgaard was created during the one-week typeface design workshop tipoRenesansa in Trenta, Slovenia (February 2012). It is specially designed for street signage. Runge writes: To achieve great legibility the design paid much attention to features such as: large x-height, open counters, tiny serifs, slightly rounded corners, square terminals as well as inktraps. Research leading to asgaard is described in Runge's paper The echo of architecture in Danish type design of the 20. century.

In 2013, Florian graduated from the MATD program at the University of Reading. His graduation typeface was Nomad.

In 2016, he published the flared lapidary typeface Sherpa Sans at Rosetta. The naming caused a bit of a stir, not so much because of Oskar Boscovitz's Sherpa Sans (2002), but because of an unpublished font by a competitor. Rosetta took the moral high ground (even though it could have fought this trademark and won) and decided to rename Sherpa Sans Gitan.

In 2018, Borna Izadpanah, Fiona Ross and Florian Runge co-designed the free Google Font Markazi Text. They write: This typeface design was inspired by Tim Holloway's Markazi typeface, with his encouragement, and initiated by Gerry Leonidas as a joint University of Reading and Google project. The Arabic glyphs were designed by Borna Izadpanah and design directed by Fiona Ross, they feature a moderate contrast. It takes its cues from the award-winning Markazi typeface, affording a contemporary and highly readable typeface. The complementary Latin glyphs were designed by Florian Runge. It keeps in spirit with its Arabic counterpart, echoing key design characteristics while being rooted in established Latin traditions. It is an open and clear design with a compact stance and an evenly flowing rhythm. Four weights are advertized at Google, but only the Regular is available.

Fontpartners
[Morten Rostgaard Olsen]

Danish type cooperative by Ole Søndergaard (b. 1937) and Morten Rostgaard Olsen (b. 1964), located in Helsingor, Denmark. Olsen is a graphic and type designer who lives and works in Copenhagen. Ole Søndergaard is basd in Elsinore, Denmark.

Morten Rostgaard Olsen's typefaces include FF Olsen, FF Max (2003, an elliptical sans inspired by Novarese's Eurostile from 1962). In 2014, Olsen extended FF Max to FF Max Pro and FF Max Condensed Pro. Ole Søndergaard has had his own design studio since 1972, and has taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His most famous font family is FF Signa (2000). He also created Thule Letters (2005) based on carved letters on Knud Rasmussen's monument. Custom fonts include Public (2005) and Signa Tryg (Søndergaard, 2003). Together, as Fontpartners, they published these typefaces:

• FP Dancer Pro (2006) and FP Dancer Serif (2006). By Morten Rostgaard Olsen. An upright part script part sans part serif concoction. Followed by the more octagonal FP Dancer Tango (2014). Olsen's Dancer is described by Jan Middendorp as follows: In the sans serif realm, spelling out human and warm, while avoiding to become childish or silly, isn't as easy as some type designers assume. Morten Olsen's Dancer is one of those new, and newly conceived, text typefaces that seem to do the job. It strikes a balance between typographic quality and charisma, between conventional wisdom about legibility, and expressiveness. Also, it has an equally eloquent serifed companion.
• FP Elsinore (1980-2006) by Ole Berntsen Søndergaard. FP Elsinore was originally custom-made for street name signs in the city of Elsinore.
• FP Fragile (2015), jointly designed by the Fontpartners. FP Fragile is a worn and scratched stencil typeface, inspired by packages, package-design and shipments.
• FP Head Pro (2008, by Morten Rostgaard Olsen) and FP Head (2006). FP Head is a redesign of a corporate typeface for the Danish trade union FOA, and is described by them as a broad headline font, with a blur-style architecture. The typeface has a touch of FP Max, hard and soft at the same time. Yves Peters writes: Architectural yet human, as if the letter forms had been delicately carved in stone; their rounded stroke edges and corners lovingly eroded by the surf of the Baltic Sea; slightly overexposed, radiating comforting warmth, giving the impression one was looking at the characters against the setting sun.. See also FP Head Stencil.
• Morten Rostgaard Olsen and Fontpartners colleagues Ole Søndergaard and Henrik Birkvig co-designed the free typefaces KBH and KBH Pictos, also in 2015, for the visual identity of the city of Copenhagen. At the retail level, one can buy FP Kobenhavn (2016) at MyFonts and FontShop. Olsen's FP Kobenhavn Sans and Kobenhavn C were added in 2019.
• FP Palina (2005). A stencil typeface by Ole Søndergaard.
• FP Quality (2005). A stencil typeface by Ole Berntsen Søndergaard.
• FP Silly (2006-2007). A stencil typeface by Ole Berntsen Søndergaard.
• FP Stage (2005). FP Stage by Ole Berntsen Søndergaard was inspired by old Victorian theater posters and corresponding typographic designs.

GRUNT
[Hans Munk]

In 2008, Hans Munk (GRUMT, Frederiksberg, Denmark) digitized Jan Tschichold's typeface Zeus for and at Pleks, and called it Pleks Zeus. No downloads or sales. More on Zeus. He quotes Tschichold on his page: Personally I am sick and tired of making typefaces. Essentially, in my opinion, it is not a task of typography. I have done two others apart from Zeus, but only to earn money, and at that time I really had to do it. I find new typefaces fundamentally and absolutely superflous. In the best cases, new typefaces have a monetary effect, and that is really quite minimal. What we make should be lasting, but: primum vivere... The production of new types is only a 'necessity' within capitalism. Where advertising is transformed into scientific communication the typeface nonsense is pointless. [Google] [More]  ⦿

Gunnar Biilmann Petersen

Danish architect (1897-1968), who taught design at Danmarks Designskole, from 1951-1967. At some point, he designed some lettertypes. Steen Ejlers is writing a book on his work.

A revival of a skeletal slab serif from 1939 bu Biilmann Petersen was done in 2018 by Henrik Kubel in his Foundation Serif Didot. Paul Shaw surmises that this typeface by Biilmann Petersen was part of a mapmaking project.

Another revival is New Plantin (2012, Mikkel Breck). This typeface was originally sketched by Biilmann Petersen based on an original Plantin typeface. [Google] [More]  ⦿

Gustav Jensen

Gustav Boerge Jensen was a Danish industrial designer of the art deco era (b. Copenhagen, 1898, d. 1954), artist and letterer. He emigrated to United States, settling in New York City. He began working in the field of industrial design in 1928. His clients included Colophon Quarterly, Covici-friede, United Drug Company and DuPont, for whom he designed book jackets, bindings, and packaging. He was featured in the landmark 1934 article in Fortune magazine about the new profession of industrial design: the article noted that, of the recognized pioneers in the field---including Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss and Walter Dorwin Teague---Jensen was regarded as the top man from a purely aesthetic point of view. Paul Rand considered Jensen his mentor. After the United States entered World War II, demand for Jensen's brand of aesthetic design flagged, and he faded into obscurity. The date and place of his death is uncertain.

He inspired many typefaces, such as Bodoni Egyptian Pro Thin (2007, Nick Shinn), a mythological Greekish art deco type Jensen first drew in 1931. Nick Curtis made Tasneem NF (2007), after Jensen's 1931 classic, which was drawn for American Alphabets. Jeff Levine added Danish Script Initials JNL (2019) to the collection of revivals.

Handwriting Models
[Benedikt Gröndal]

Handwriting Models An Icelandic Manual, 1883 [fre download] was written by Benedikt Gröndal (1826-1907), an Icelandic poet, painter, draftsman, calligrapher and library historian. After a master's degree in Scandinavian Studies from the University of Copenhagen in 1863, he taught, wrote, and published a periodical, Gefn. In 2007, a foreword and useful introduction to handwriting models was added by Gunnlaugur Briem, and he placed all on his web site for free download. I quote: In 1875, Denmark changed handwriting models, replacing blackletter cursive by copperplate. This extended to its Icelandic dominion, where copybooks and model sheets in the new style were in short supply. Eight years later, a much needed handwriting manual by Benedikt Gröndal was published. The old style and the new are similar in appearance but have different letterforms. This picture shows the old blackletter cursive (top) and the new copperplate (bottom)---it was taken from Almanak Hins íslenzka þjóðvinafélags, Copenhagen (1877). Gröndal's copperplate and Gröndal's ronde. The foreword by Briem also shows a Danish ronde that appeared in Rundskrifts-Bogen; til Skolebrug og Hjemmeøvelse, ca. 1880. He also grabs the opportunity to showcase the most handsome of all Icelandic copperplate models done by Jón Þórarinsson in Skrifbók með forskriftum, 1. hefti (Reykjavík, ca. 1896). The American Palmer method, more open but less gracious, is illustrated in this alphabet from 1922 by Steingrímur Arason (from Litla skrifbókin, Reykjavík. Variants of this are shown in the alphabets of Guðmundur I. Guðjónsson, published between 1939 and 1953. Briem concludes: Handwriting based on copperplate was largely abandoned in Icelandic schools in 1984. It was replaced by italic, a modern monoline version of renaissance handwriting that owes much to Ludovico Arrighi's approach. A large selection of model sheets in this style is available for free download from the internet. He also shows Italiuskrift05, his own suggestion for schools. [Google] [More]  ⦿

Knud Valdemar Engelhardt

Knud V. Engelhardt (1882-1931) was a Danish architect, printer and designer. He worked on kilometer stones, type for trams, street signs, and is well known in type circles for a slab-serif alphabet made for the city of Copenhagen with heavy wide capitals.

In 2010, Swedish designer Mårten Thavenius created Skilt Gothic (Font Bureau), which was based on signage types by Engelhardt from the 1920s, including those he created for the street signs in Gentofte, north of Copenhagen. Engelhardt's design was loosely based on the lettering of two Danish architects of the time: Thorvald Bindesbøll (designer of the Carlsberg logo) and Anton Rosen. The signs were so successful that they are still in use today.

In 2017, Letters from Sweden published its Trim sans typeface family, which is also based on Engelhardt's work.

In 2020, Wahyu Wibowo released Regave, a 24-style (+variable) typeface which is also influenced by Engelhardt's street signs.

Kontrapunkt's Bo Linnemann is mainly occupied with corporate branding, and this often includes new corporate designs.

Linda Hintz

Linda (Copenhagen, Denmark) studied at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd (2007). A course with Luc[as] de Groot led her to KABK in Den Haag where she obtained a Masters degree in type and media in 2011, and designed the typefaces Ernest, Ernie and Ernesto. She writes: Ernest is a transitional text cut for continuous reading, modest and quite quiet in appearance. His little fellow Ernie is made for small sizes in captions with simplyfied letterforms. In contrast Ernesto works as an image in displaysizes, being a caps only cut with playful alternatives to give a splendid impression.

She is based in Copenhagen (since 2014) and works as an independent type designer. In 2017, Linda Hintz and the Monotype Design Team revived Gerard Unger's Praxis (1976) as Praxis Next.

In 2015, Gerard Unger, Linda Hintz and Dan Reynolds published Demos Next (2014) at Linotype.

In 2018, Linda Hintz and Toshi Omagari published the large geometric sans typeface family Neue Plak that revives and extends Paul Renner's Plak (1928).

Ole Berntsen Søndergaard

Danish graphic designer and signwriter, b. 1937, who studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Copenhagen (1961-1964) and has taught there from 1966 until 1978. He ran his own graphic design studio in Elsinore in 1973. Co-founder and partner of Eleven Danes, 1985-1995. He has designed signage systems for banks, offices and public buildings in Denmark, Sweden and the Middle East, and did a lot of corporate design for Danish banks and Danish industry.

He created the well-known FF Signa typeface family in 2000, originally for signage, but also useful in text. This was complemented by FF Signa Extended and FF Signa Condensed in 2001, FF Signa Serif in 2005, FF Signa Correspondence Pro in 2006, FF Signa Stencil Pro and FF Signa Serif Stencil Pro in 2011, the 70-style FF Signa Slab Pro in 2013, and FF Signa Round Pro and FF Signa Slab Stencil in 2017.

Ole designed Thule Letters (2005) based on carved letters on Knud Rasmussen's monument. Other typefaces include Public (1980, sans), and Helsingør (1980, a serif typeface for the town signage in Elsinore).

With Morten Rostgaard Olsen, he set up Fontpartners. Together, they made FP Dancer (2007, an upright part script part sans part serif concoction), FP Palina (Futura Stencil face, 2006-2007), FP Quality (rounded stencil, 2006-2007), FP Silly (wavy stencil, 2005; free at Fontshop), FP Stage (2006-2007, wide display grunge).

Custom fonts at Fontpartners include Elsinore (2005, serif), Public (2005), Signa Tryg (Søndergaard, 2003). FP Dancer (2007) is described by Jan Middendorp as follows: In the sans serif realm, spelling out human and warm, while avoiding to become childish or silly, isn't as easy as some type designers assume. Morten Olsen's Dancer is one of those new, and newly conceived, text typefaces that seem to do the job. It strikes a balance between typographic quality and charisma, between conventional wisdom about legibility, and expressiveness. Also, it has an equally eloquent serifed companion.

In 2015, Morten Rostgaard Olsen (Fontapartners), Ole Søndergaard and Henrik Birkvig co-designed the free typefaces KBH and KBH Pictos for the visual identity of the city of Copenhagen. At the retail level, one can buy FP Kobenhavn at MyFonts and FontShop.

Rüdiger
[Philipp Caroline Neumeyer]

Philipp Neumeyer is a ballet dancer and type designer who studied communication design at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design Kiel (MAFAD), Germany, class of 2014. In the TypeMedia program at KABK in Den Haag, Phillipp Victoria (or Beatrix, or Caroline, or Bartholomaeus) Neumeyer designed the typeface Elma and Frederick (2015), about which he writes: Elma has a robust construction with chunky-esque serifs, subtle rough and slightly quirky details but resonates in a yet serious appearance that combines traditional elements with modern functionality.. After graduating from the KABK in 2015, he moved to Berlin and then to Copenhagen, where he worked for Playtype.

As Rüdiger at Future Fonts, he designed the typefaces Arnold (2018: a monospaced sans for Latin and Cyrillic) and Rainer (2018: a compressed sans). In 2019, he released the condensed sans typeface Theodor for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

In 2021, he published Norbert at Typemates. Norbert is an extensive grotesque with support for Latin and Cyrillic. Subfamilies include Norbert Schmal and Norbert Breit. Award winner at 25 TDC in 2022.

In 2022, Philipp Neumeyer released Juneau, a friendly geometric workhorse sans for Latin and Cyrillic, at TypeMates.
