ABOUT

Viktor Nübel

Freelance graphic designer in Berlin, b. 1977. In 2005, he graduated from the Design Akademie Berlin with a thesis entitled Type Attack. His first typeface is the stencil-inspired PTL Attack (2006, Primetype). He also made Ostblock (pixelish) and Modul72 (a modular typeface in the spirit of Meek's FontStruct). Both typefaces were heavily inspired by events and lettering in the former East Germany.

In 2009, he made the decorative Oliva, which has a hint of psychedelica. Finally, he and Hendrik Möller created some hand-printed fonts with two glyphs for each letter, to better simulate reality.

In 2013, Viktor published the large PTL Attention sans serif typeface family over at Primetype. Babetta (2013) is a caps typeface (with an inline called Babetta Neon) that was inspired by an illuminated vintage shop sign at Karl-Marx-Buchhandlung in Berlin. It has some elements of art deco.
