ABOUT





Karl Hermann Schaefer

German type designer from Hagen (Westfalen) who created these typefaces:

  • The five-line shaded art deco typeface Fatima (1933, Schriftguss). A later copy at FT Française was called Atlas (1933). This was digitized by Harold Lohner in 2001 first as Farouk, but then renamed Atlas.
  • Versalien or Schaefer Versalien (Schrifguss, 1927). A lineale titling font on a shaded background. Chiron did a revival called TbC Schaefer-Versalien (2012). Nick Curtis created a commercial version called Capital Ideas 2 NF.
  • Capitol (Schriftguss, 1931). A lineale with an extra vertical stroke on the left of each glyph, typical of the art deco era. For a revival, see Capitol Pro (2012, Ralph M. Unger).
  • Cito Versalien (1930, Schriftguss).
  • Orchidea (1937, Schriftguss). A script face.
