ABOUT







Peter Schnorr

German artist and illustrator in the art nouveau (Jugendstil) period. He collaborated at some point with Bruce Rogers on book design, e.g., for Houghton Mifflin. Designer of the blackletter typeface Augsburger Schrift (+Halbfette) (+Augsburger Initialen) (1901, Berthold AG; Seemann and Wetzig state 1903) and of the art nouveau display typeface Gezeichnete Schrift.

Digital revivals:

  • HiH published the blackletter typefaces Schnorr Dekorativ, Demi Bold and Initialen (2007), as well as Schnorr Gestreckt (2006), an art nouveau typeface initially done in 1898 by Peter Schnorr. See also Tom Wallace's Augsburger Schrift.
  • Jason Castle's Samira (2008) also revives Schnorr Gestreckt.
  • The art nouveau typeface Schnorr Gestreckt was also the basis of Gert Wiescher's Modernista (2008). Gert himself added two weights to the original.
  • Alan Jay Prescott's New Ambrosia APT (1996) is also based on Schnorr Gestreckt.
  • Ralph M. Unger revived Augsburger Initialen in his Initials RMU Two (2012).
  • Scriptorium: Maginot (1993, David Nalle) is also strongly based on Schnorr Gestreckt.
