ABOUT







Paul Sinkwitz

Designer and painter, b. 1899, Ebersbach, d. 1981 Arzbach (MyFonts claims he died in Bad Tölz). Sinkwitz studied at Kunst- gewerbeakademie Dresden in former East Germany. He settled in 1922 in Hellerau and moved to Stuttgart in 1955 where he was an art professor. His typefaces include the semi-calligraphic semi-blackletter typefaces Sinkwitz Gotisch and Versalien in 1942 at Schelter & Giesecke. These became part of the Typoart collection in 1950.

In 2007, Ingo Preuss revived Sinkwitz Gotisch and added Sinkwitz Bastard to accompany the blackletter.
