ABOUT







Otto Trace

American creator of the grungified outline typeface MVB Gryphius (2003): The fonts come from types used by Sebastian Gryphius in Lyon in the early 16th century. The italic appears in a book from 1524 and the roman and small caps appear with the same italic in another book printed by Gryphius in 1541. Retaining the rough contours and uneven texture of its source, MVB Gryphius is best used at text sizes from 12- to 15-point.

Personal note: It is very likely that Otto Trace (pronounced autotrace) is the name assumed for the occasion of the production of MVB Gryphius by Mark van Bronkhorst.
