Dutch alphabetician who was active in the 1930s. In 1949, he published Album de Lettres Arti (Arti, Alkmaar, the Netherlands), which features 32 decorative alphabets. In 1940, he released the 20-page booklet De Perpetua van Eric Gill> (Boek- en Handeldrukkerij Wormerveer). Hans van Maanen at Canada Type revived his lettering as digital fonts: Archie (2010) is a square face, and Agent (2010) is pure comic book or signage style. Chikita (2008) by Patrick Griffin and Rebecca Alaccari at Canada Type is an upright ronde script that is also based on Meijer's work. The angular calligraphic type family Libertine (2011, by Patrick Griffin and Kevin Allan King at Canada Type) was also inspired by Meijer. Jeff Levine was also inspired by Meijer's alphabets in his JNL Ornate Deco (2019), Sign Studio JNL (2019) and Maitre d Stencil JNL (2019). |
