ABOUT







Werner Rebhuhn

Designer at Genzsch&Heyse (1922-2001), who made these typefaces:

  • Fox (1953-1955). A heavy and quite ugly brush script. Fox was revived in 2007 by Ralph M. Unger at Profonts / URW++ as Fox. See also the digital revival by Thomas E. Harvey called Swashett (1993).
  • Hobby (1955-1956). A casual heavy font. Hobby was revived in 2007 by Nick Curtis as Amper Sans NF (2007).

There is confusion about the first name. Schnelle, Klingspor and Profonts / URW++ say it is Werner, not Walter, while Linotype sticks with Walter.
