Ethan Cohen Typeface designer and calligrapher from New York City, where he worked at Mucca and studied typeface design at The Cooper Union's Type@Cooper Extended Program. Graduate of the Type Media program at KABK in Den Haag, The Netherlands, class of 2019. Presently located in Berlin. His typefaces: Sig (2018). An update and extension of Rudolf Koch's blackletter typeface, Wallau. Sig won an award at the Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition 2019. It covers Latin and Cyrillic and features a Basque capital A. His KABK graduation typeface, Decibel (+Text, +Display) (2019). He writes that Decibel embodies the ethos of 1960's and 1970's American funk music: it is quirky, flavorful and syncopated. He writes that Decibel Text was inspired by the charming but naive 19th century British slab serif designs of Caslon, Figgins and Thorowgood. Contrakt (2017). A text typeface family for contracts. He writes: Contrakt is a warm, but sturdy and authoritative, text typeface family inspired by the limited palette of typefaces that were available to me in my former life, when I worked in the legal department at a NYC record label. Contrakt was my final project for the 2016-2017 Type@Cooper Extended Program. Melantius (2016). A revival of Bulmer as it appeared in Cheshire House's 1932 edition of Beaumont & Fletcher's The Maide's Tragedy. Melantius was Ethan's first semester project for the Type@Cooper Extended Program.
