FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Norbert Reiners Aachen-based German type designer (born in 1967). After finishing his vocational training as a typesetter in 1991, he went on to the Fachhochschule Aachen, where he studied visual communication under W. Eikel (calligraphy) and K. Mohr (typography), and graduated in 1996. He created the Roman family Tarquinius (1995). He also designed Éirinn AsciiLL and Eirinn Gaelic in 1994, a modern round Gaelic typeface based on Petrie A. The Domingo family (1995) of glyphs tilted 90 degrees is quite useless--it was renamed Beaty Bodies No. 10 and No. 11 and is available from Elsner&Flake. However, his Ossian font family (1995), starting with Ossian Gaelic Ornaments (1995), is very beautiful. Linotype Octane (1997) is a display sans family. Linotype link. FontShop link.
