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. Dynamo is available from Linotype and Elsner&Flake. Dynamo was revived by Nick Curtis as Elektromoto NF (2011)---Nick has superb taste, but why he chose Dynamo remains an enigma. It was also revived as D891 Deco by Softmaker. Sommer also created Vulcan (1929). Linotype linkK. Sommer FontShop link. Klingspor link.	EXTERNAL LINKS K.
