FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Koeiekat [John Wollring] John Wollring (aka Koeiekat), b. Amsterdam, 1943, d. 2017, was passionate about type design. John worked in marketing communications in advertising agencies and at Philips. Bronwyn Holmes explains: His love of fonts came from his work in producing advertising and brochures and his close involvement with printers and printing. He was very aware of the power of typography in communication. He retired in Extremadura to a remote mountainous region. Small villages with little distraction except the very wild and beautiful nature so plenty of time for him to spend on typography. John Wollring designed these typefaces: The tuxedoed art deco typeface Zig Zag ML (2009, based on Zig Zag, a 1972 alphabet by Marcia Loeb). See also ML ZigZag KK (2013).
