Mark Frömberg Berlin-based and Berlin-born illustrator and designer whose first degree is from the University of Applied Sciences (Berlin 2012). Graduate of the Type & Media program at KABK in Den Haag in 2014, where his graduation typeface was Shequalin. He made the semi-calligraphic script typeface Faistra (2010) renamed Canary (2011, to be published by Die Gestalten), and the rounded informal typeface Calcine (2011, Die Gestalten). Pigment (2012) is a chromatic typeface. For his graduation project at the KABK in 2014, he created Shequalin, a text typeface for humoristic applications, Mark writes about this quirky but very pleasant and readable typeface: Shequalin is a text typeface designed for sophisticated humoristic literature and all kinds of typographic shenanigans. Be it satirical or dadaistic poetry, escapist or fictive novels, playful Shequalin seamlessly suits works by masters of the comical word. For the reader;s alertness, it rhythmically drops in oddities without distracting from the reading flow. In order to create a more severe and fervent contrast, the roman and italic were designed independently and merged later, creating a dynamic sense of tension and blatancy in Shequalin. Home page.
