Maurice Göldner
Type designer born in Germany who graduated from the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig in 2009 and the Burg Giebichenstein University of Arts and Design Halle. His research project on the history of Dresden's Brüder Butter foundry has been published in the Typography papers 9, Hyphen Press. Maurice is type design lecturer at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee and cofounder of Camelot Typefaces. Creator of the Meran family (OurType) in 2008. OurType says: Its design grew out of an exercise to construct capital letters from strips of black paper. The letters were later translated into digital form and given matching roman and italic lowercase designs together with figures. Meran is not easy to characterize. A sanserif? Undoubtedly, but much more too: with its fresh and distinctive look we might call it a 'contemporary rotunda'. A display type that works well as text, or a text typeface that performs impressively in display? It's both! Meran is a sanserif with an edge, which offers an exceptional blend between character and utility. His second retail typeface is Stan (and Stan Plus, 2012, Our Type), and StandingType (2012, OurType). His custom typefaces include
