Mauve Type (est. 2015) is based in Berlin and run by Eike Dingler. He studied type design in The Hague, as well as graphic design in Düsseldorf and Arnhem and has worked for Typotheque type foundry in The Netherlands. In 2008, Peter Bilak, Eike Dingler, Ondrej Jób, and Ashfaq Niazi created the 21-style family History at Typotheque: Based on a skeleton of Roman inscriptional capitals, History includes 21 layers inspired by the evolution of typography. These 21 independent typefaces share widths and other metric information so that they can be recombined. Thus History has the potential to generate thousands of different unique styles. History 1, e.g., is a hairline sans; History 2 is Peignotian; History 14 is a multiline face; History 15 is a stapler face, and so forth. In 2015, Eike designed the textured and patterned typeface family Pattern and the snow crustal-themed font Christmas Pattern. |
