ABOUT

Don Handel

American designer in 1965 of the futuristic typeface Handel Gothic. It was used in the 1973 United Airlines logo developed by Saul Bass. It was further developed by Ronald Trogram in 1980 (according to Linotype, Identifont, FontShop) and distributed as a film font by FotoStar (which was Robert Trogman's company--I think MyFonts is right by giving credit to Trogman, not Trogram). Digital versions exist by Elsner&Flake, Bitstream, Linotype, and URW. The ITC version with new weights is due to Rod McDonald. FontSite calls its version Handel Gothic FS. See also the free font Handel Gothic TL by Tilde at Open Font Library.
