FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Erich Mollowitz German designer of 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. He also created Anemone (1955, Genzsch&Heyse). Misspellings of his name abound: R.S. Hutchings calls him Mallowitz. Others spell his name as Mollwitz. 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.
