ABOUT







Alfred Riedel

Type designer in Freiburg (b. Waldkirch, 1906; d. Freiburg, 1969) who was a pupil of Rudolf Koch, and studied at the Badischen Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe. He designed books for Verlag Herder from 1935 onwards. His typefaces include the fat face Domino (Ludwig&Mayer, 1954). A digital revival was created by Nick Curtis in 2007, called Idle Fancy NF.

His typefaces Adamas and Adamas Unziale (1963, for Herder Verlag) were made into a phototype by Monotype.

Sample of blackletter calligraphy.
