FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




K. Sommer Designer of the (in my opinion, disastrous) art deco font typeface Dynamo (Ludwig&Mayer, 1930; now a Berthold font) with its awkward serifs. Digital versions: Dynamo EF and Dynamo Shadow EF (Elsner & Flake). Durango No. 2 (2012, SoftMaker). An earlier version at SofyMaker was called D891 Deco. Elektromoto NF (2011, Nick Curtis). Nick has superb taste, but why he chose to revive Dynamo remains an enigma. Campora (2019). A distant relative by Salvador Rodriguez inspired by Dynamo. Sommer also created Vulcan (1929).
