ABOUT

Ingrama [Peter Henninger]

Defunct foundry in Vevey (Switzerland) which produced Raleigh (1977, now a Bitstream font family) and Seagull (1978, Adrian Williams, Bob McGrath; now also a Bitstream font). Raleigh's story as told by MyFonts.com: Started by Carl Dair. After Dair's death, David Anderson redrew the design for Typsettra, where it was renamed Raleigh. Adrian Williams at Fonts added three weights as a display series for Conways, while Robert Norton drew the text series. Ingrama was run by Peter Henninger out of Vevey, Switzerland. SoftMaker claims that its art deco family Expressa (1994), its text family Lingwood (1994), its Accolade family, its Leamington roman serif family (based on Adrian Williams' Leamington, 1978), its Pasadena (1994), its Helium RR (1994), its Digital Serial (1994), its square sans family Diamante (1994) and its Casablanca family (1994) were also made by Ingrama. However, Lingwood EF (Elsner&Flake) has a date of 1974 associated with it, so I do not know who made the first Lingwood!
