Type Department
[Jürgen Huber]
The Type Department was founded in 2010 by Jürgen Huber (Berlin, b. 1967) and Malte Herok. In 2011 Martin Wenzel joined as a friend of the Type Department. Much of the work is typographic and centers on logo, retail and custom type design. Jürgen Huber, who studied at Folkwang Academy in Essen and is now a professor of typography at FHTW in Berlin, a city he moved to in 1997, designed FF Plus Sans (2003, a sans family), FF Ginger (2002, includes Ginger-Icons, and FF Ginger Flamboyant, 2014), FF Angst (1997, grunge) and Hothouse (which netted him a Bukvaraz 2001 award). His typeface Scheck (Meta Design, made for Sport Scheck GmbH) won an award at the TDC2 2005 type competition. Jürgen Huber originally designed Crocodile Brokenscript (2013, blackletter) for a small brewery in München where it is used alongside with its sanserif counterpart. FontShop link. Most of Huber's typefaces are published vi FontShop / FontFont due to his spell as type director at Meta Design. Typefaces from 2014 by Huber include TD Lemon Sans, TD Lemon Sans Rounded (released in 2015), TD Lemon Serif (a low contrast very readable text typeface; +Unicase; see also here), TD Hothouse---that font was started in 2001 as a corporate typeface for the Glasgow School of Art, and took inspiration in the arts and crafts lettering of Charles R. Mackintosh. Typefaces from 2016: Scarlet, Scarlet Wood, and Scarlet Script. In 2019, he released the free Google web font Blinker. He writes: Blinker is a low contrast sans serif typeface with a squircle as its basic shape, think squarish curves, or Eurostile's flamboyant cousin. It's best used for medium to large text, rather than a long copy. To do its claim justice Blinker also comes with a headline weight with an extra large x-height, tight spacing, and glyphs drawn more narrowly. Github link. |
