ABOUT







Jörg Herz

German type designer (b. 1965) who was originally a painter and sculptor. He graduated in visual communication from Hochschule Pforzheim in 1996. Creator of the dingbat fonts Linotype Afrika One and Two (1999), Linotype Monday Devils (1999, funny stick people), and Linotype Short Story (1997). Still at Linotype, he made Linotype Textra (with Jochen Schuss---a take on FF Meta), Dassitzt (constructivist, based on his diploma work at Pforzheim) and Dassitzt Pictos in 2003. In 2008, he created the angry all caps display typefaces Arsen and Arsen Ink (Volcano), Daydream (Volcano), and Logorinth (Volcano). With Andy Jörder and Alois Ganslmeier, he created the ultra-fat constructivist family Coma (Coma, Volcano). Bastion (2011) is along the same lines.
