ABOUT

Merle Scholtz

Born in Durban, South Africa, in 1947, Merle Scholtz specializes in designing African and Indian ethnic patterns and logos. Her work with ethnic patterns began as a result of her fascination with, and collection of, ethnic African masks and beadwork. Together with Anton Scholtz, she runs Scholtz Fonts. Her typefaces include:

• African Shield (2005). Patterned after the cow-hide shields of the Zulu tribe.
• Crime Inc (2012). A grungy sans.
• Crostini (2011). A script for menus and invitations.
• Fragrance (2011). A cosmetic industry or wedding invitation calligraphic face.
• Gatsby SF (2007). A gorgeous art deco face.
• Giraffe Skin, LeopardSkin.
• Girl Script and Girltalk. These are curly typefaces.
• Nordika (2007). A condensed sans.
• Palm Court (2007).
• Qotho (2010). She codesigned the versatile almost architectural sans family Qotho with Anton Scholtz.
• Romi. A curly face.
• Smart Casual (2007). An artsy architectural face.
• Stoan: a texture face.
• Tertius (2008). A Carolingian style family that could also be mistaken for an Arabic simulation face. Codesigned with Anton Scholtz.
