Friedrich Heinrichsen
Type designer and calligrapher (b. Passau, 1901, d. 1980, Traunstein) who made Gotenburg (1935-1937, D. Stempel) [with Zierversalien, 1936]. This was digitized in 2001 by Delbanco as DS-Gotenburg. GotenburgA and GotenburgB were revived by Dieter Steffmann in 2002. Heinrichsen was associated with the Werkstattgemeinschaft Rudolf Koch. Other typefaces: Heinrichsen-Kanzlei (1933, Trennert), a gorgeous tall-ascendered blackletter face [for a free digital descendant, see KanzleiScriptHJZ by Hans J. Zinken]. His calligraphic work was also outstanding, and includes Initialen, a proposal for Lichte Schwabacher (never actually cut), and numerous handwriting and calligraphic keepsakes. In 1986, Wolfgang Hendlmeier wrote a brief biography. Picture. |
