ABOUT







Erich Mollowitz

German designer of these typefaces:

  • The medium weight formal script font Forelle (Weber, 1936), also called Rhinegold or Rheingold (Trennert, 1936). It has tall ascenders and short descenders. It is accompanied by Forelle Auszeichnung (1936). Mercury (Stephenson Blake) was copied from this. Jaunty Gent NF (2007, Nick Curtis) is based on Rheinhold Kräftig---surely Nick meant to write Rheingold Kräftig. Forelle Pro (2010, Ralph M. Unger) is another digital version of Forelle. Dieter Steffmann made the free font Forelle.
  • Anemone (1955, Genzsch&Heyse). A condensed all caps inline typeface.

Misspellings of his name abound: R.S. Hutchings calls him Mallowitz. Others spell his name as Mollwitz.
