ABOUT





Heinrich (Heinz) Keune

Heinz Keune (possibly Keune von Waldheim) was born in 1881 in Hannover, and died in 1946 in Berlin. He was a signpainter in Hannover and Leipzig and, from 1903 onwards, a freelance graphic designer in Weimar and Berlin. From 1908 until 1910, he studied in Leipzig under H. Steiner-Prag and H. Delitsch before returning to Hannover in 1911. In 1915 he became a professor at the Königlichen Kunstschule in Berlin. From 1918 until 1920, he taught at the Akademische Hochschule für bildende Künste at Berlin Charlottenburg. From 1920 on, he taught at the Kunstgewerbe und Handwerkerschule in Berlin-Ost.

All his typefaces were designed at Schelter&Giesecke, between 1900 and 1909. He created Rosenzierat Serien 534 und 535 (1905), Mimosenzierat (1909), Edda (1900, late art nouveau style), Wallenstein (1904, art nouveau), Lichte Wallenstein (1904), Wittelsbach (1903, German expressionist face), Habsburg (1903, German expressionist face), Maria Theresia (1903), Ovid (1903, art nouveau), Rousseau (1905, a travel poster script face), and Wettin (1902, art nouveau).
