ABOUT

German Type Foundry

German type cooperative established in 2006 in Ladenburg. Designers associated with it include Andreas Seidel, Ingo Preuss and Michi Bundscherer. Behance link. Some fonts:

• Hellmuth Tschörtner (1911-1979) designed the garalde typeface Tschörtner-Antiqua in 1955. This family became very popular as a workhorse in the DDR, and was digitized in three optical weights as GTF Toshna Std (2008, German Type Foundry) by Andreas Seidel.
• Prillwitz (2005, Ingo Preuss): a new interpretation of the beautiful and extensive 1790 original didone by Johann Carl Ludwig Prillwitz. Other versions published before the GTF family include Prillwitz Antiqua by Albert Kapr and Werner Schulze (1971-1987). This is a newsprint type. Prillwitz Pro was published in 2015.
• Phoenica (1998, Ingo Preuss) and Phoenica Condensed: a humanist grotesk family meant as a coroporate type.
• Secca (2009, Andreas Seidel) is a simple sans family rooted in early German grotesque type designs.
