ABOUT







Julius Kirn

Born in 1909 in Stuttgart. In 1938, he designed Oleander at Genzsch&Heyse (which was digitized and expanded as Rostrum (2005, Rebecca Alaccari, Canada Type)). In 1935-1938, he created the brush script / comic book typeface Bison at Johannes Wagner [see also at C.E. Weber in 1939]. Bison is also known as B731-Deco-Regular (SoftMaker), Blizzard Standard (URW), Fontbank Sprite, Bitstream Brush 738, WSI Handybrush, Berthold Bison and Softmaker Bluff.
