    Aldo Novarese

    Italian designer, 1920-1995, who designed most of his typefaces at Nebiolo in Turin. Until 1975, he made about 30 families at Nebiolo, and after 1975, he produced about 70 further families of fonts. With weights included, he created about 300 fonts. Biography by Sergio Polano. He was very influential, and wrote two important books, Alfa Beta: Lo Studio e il Disegno del Carattere, a study on font design and history (1964), and Il Segno Alfabetico (1971). Essay by Sergio Polano on Novarese. The list of fonts done at Nebiolo:

    • Landi Linear (1942). This was revived in digital form in 2011 by Toto as K22 Landi Linear.
    • Etruria (1940-42)

    • Patrizia
    • Magister (1966)
    • Forma (1966). Alessandro Colizzi explains: From 1965, following a marketing-oriented approach focused on the user, the management set a research group of graphic designers to work on a new typeface design. Headed by Novarese, who provided the basic alphabet, the team included Franco Grignani, Giancarlo Iliprandi, Till Neuburg, Ilio Negri, Pino Tovaglia, Luigi Oriani, and Bruno Munari. The collective design process was based on an analysis of contemporary sanserif typefaces and legibility tests, to develop a more mature, humane interpretation of the Swiss sanserif trend. The process was quite laborious with monthly meetings spanning across over two years. In 1968, Forma was eventually released as lead type. As its name implies, Forma aimed at representing the ideal letterform of its time, equally appealing to designers, printers and the general public. The typeface was favourably received by the design community (it won a special mention at Compasso d'oro in 1970), but although initial sales were encouraging, it could not really compete in a market already saturated by Univers, Helvetica and the like. . A grand revival of Forma, described by Indra Kupferschmdt, was organized by Roger Black for Hong Kong Tatler (as fashion mag). The revival was executed by Font Bureau's David Jonathan Ross in 2013. See David Jonathan Ross's site.
    • Oscar (1966)
    • Lambert (Compacta lookalike)
    • Metropol (1967). This gaspipe typeface was digitized by Patrick Griffin at Canada Type in 2007 as Press Gothic. Originally, it was meant as an alternative to Geoffrey Lee's Impact at Stephenson Blake.
    • Elite (1968, a boring linear script, digitized in 2005 by Canada Type as Fontella)
    • Fenice
    • Stop (1971; available at Mecanorma, Linotype, URW++, Elsner&Flake)
    • Dattilo (1974, an Egyptian face) (1974): his last creature for Nebiolo, a typewriter type. It was considered as a slab serif companion of Forma. This typeface was revived as a variable font in 2020 by David Jonathan Ross.
    His post-Nebiolo fonts:
    • Primate (1972), for AG Berthold. For a digital revival of this wedge serif, see Luca Terzo's Noctis (2020).

    Frederick W. Lambert

    British type and graphic designer who taught at the London College of Printing and headed Letraset. His typefaces:

    • LetterForm No. 2 (1953). See Letter Forms: 110 Complete Alphabets (by Fred Lambert, Dover, 1972; edited by Theodore Menten; 19 editions of that book were published between 1964 and 1990).
    • Sans Stencil (1959).
    • Compacta (1963, Letraset) is a super-condensed heavy industrial sans-serif family that can be used in phone directories, ads for airplanes, and masculine newspapers. It is in the gaspipe genre that descended from Schmalfette Grotesk, led to Haettenschweiler and Impact, and to Matthew Carter's masthead type for Private Eye. Compacta ended up in the digital as ITC Compacta and found its way to the Linotype collection, and by osmosis, to the Bitstream collection since 1990 (where the font took on a life as Swiss 930 and as Compacta Bold BT), and at Scangraphic in 2004 (as Compacta SH). Compacta's style was popular in the early 1960s: Rolling Stones albums such as Aftermath and 12x5 and The Who's I Can See For Miles either use Compacta or are in a similar style. It was in use on the cover of The Sexual Fetish (1965). It was also used as the titles and credits font for shows such as Emergency and The Six Million Dollar Man, as well as on-screen by NBC Sports from 1991 to 1995, and in the TV series Baywatch. It has been used by the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team since 1993. Compacta appeared as the logo typeface for World Wrestling Federation's television program SmackDown from 1999 to 2001.
    • Annlie (1966, Letraset). A strong black didone typeface with beautiful numerals that later became an ITC font, ITC Annlie.
    • Linear (1969, Letraset).

    Dutch type designer who published the experimental typeface Jazmo in 2012 at URW: Jazmo is an offspring of an assignment I did for a Dutch architect. A classic building and coincidently the place of my studio in my hometown Zwolle, Netherlands, needed to be renovated. My job was to design the house numbers and signs for this building.

In my design I used elements of the Art Nouveau.

    In 2013, she published Smooth Buggaloo (URW++), a typeface that was inspired by the music of the sixties. Le Rock (2013, URW++) is a bouncy freeform display typeface. Labyrindo (2013, URW++) is inspired by Greek labyrinths.

    Saul Bass

    American graphic designer and Oscar-winning filmmaker, best known for his design of motion-picture title sequences, film posters, and corporate logos. Born in the Bronx, NY, in 1920, he died in Los Angeles in 1996. Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Among his best known title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho. Bass designed some of the most iconic corporate logos in North America, including the Bell System logo in 1969, as well as AT&T's globe logo in 1983 after the breakup of the Bell System. He also designed Continental Airlines' 1968 jet stream logo and United Airlines' 1974 tulip logo, which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era.

    Type design came as a by-product of his famous logos or movie posters. He designed the artsy Rainbow Bass (1982), as well as a gaspipe-style logo typeface for Alcoa (1963) to accompany his logo for Alcoa.

    Revivals and descendants of Bass's work:

    • Alumi (Michael Hernan). Based on the Alcoa typeface.
    • Hitchcock (Matt Terich). A free font. This is strictly speaking not a Bass revival, because Dave Nagata did most of the drawings. The style, however, is one hundred percent vintage Bass. According to Keith Morris, the lettering artist who did the lettering for the Saul Bass titles was Art Goodman. Not soi according to Jill Bell: Art Goodman did not do the lettering for Saul Bass. Rather Saul utilized a number of different lettering artists through out his career. Harold Adler did most of the Hitchcock/Preminger titles, Maury Nemoy did some (St. Joan).
    • Chank Diesel's Hitchcock (1997).
    • Rainbow Bass, a vertically striped disco style design, was remade by Nick Curtis as Backstage Pass (2008), Kymmera Deco NF (2011), and High Five and High Five Jive.
    • Harold Lohner's Alumino (2008) was inspired by Saul Bass's design for the aluminum company Alcoa.
    • Saul (Laura French, 2011) is based on the cut-out letter movie titling style used by Bass in some movies.
    • In 2015, Robin Lassalle created Saul Bass Font to honor Saul's genre.
    • Zetafonts pays tribute to Bass in their Double Bass (2018, by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini).

    Jennifer Bass (his daughter) and Pat Kirkham published Saul Bass: A Life in Film&Design (2011). The book's blurb: This is the first book to be published on one of the greatest American designers of the 20th Century, who was as famous for his work in film as for his corporate identity and graphic work. With more than 1,400 illustrations, many of them never published before and written by the leading design historian Pat Kirkham, this is the definitive study that design and film enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating. Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American post-war visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles, he went on to transform the genre. His best known works include a series of unforgettable posters and title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Otto Preminger's The Man With The Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for major companies such as AT&T, Quaker Oats, United Airlines and Minolta. His wife and collaborator, Elaine, joined the Bass office in the late 1950s. Together they created an impressive series of award-winning short films, including the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates, as well as an equally impressive series of film titles, ranging from Stanley Kubrick s Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese s Cape Fear and Casino in the 1990s. Designed by Jennifer Bass, Saul Bass's daughter and written by distinguished design historian Pat Kirkham who knew Saul Bass personally, this book is full of images from the Bass archive, providing an in depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the 20th century.

    Signal Type Foundry
    [Max Phillips]

    Signal Type Foundry & Drawing Office is a type foundry in New York City, est. 2012 by Max Phillips (b. 1957, New York City), a typographer, graphic designer, toy designer, creative director and novelist who moved to Dublin, Ireland, in 2013 with his Irish spouse. His typefaces:

    • FF Spinoza Pro (2011). His first type design, developed over a period of eleven years. FontShop: With the goal of readability in mind, Phillips named the typeface after 17th century rationalist and lens-grinder Baruch Spinoza, a man whose job it was to help people see clearly. The type family is meant as an elegant workhorse, a classic text family with just enough individual character to hold its own in display sizes. It was inspired by mid-century German book typefaces like Trump Mediaeval and Aldus, and by the types of Nicolas Kis. The forms are narrow and economical, with open counters. The line is firm and distinct. Strong, thick strokes and serifs help it grip the page.
    • Center (2013). A technical monoline sans typeface with soft lines. It is based on a round rectangle. Followed by Center Slab in 2016 and Center 2 in 2019.
    • The prismatic / hypnotic multilined typeface Vibro (2011), an op-art font that received the Type Directors Club Certificate of Excellence in 2012.
    • Pressio (2016). A condensed to wide wood-inspired sans typeface family. See also Pressio Stencil (2018).
    • Baasic (2016). A standard sans typeface: Baasic was designed for Dublin-based design office aad. baasic, and was intended as a plain, hardworking grotesque---a simple tool for clear communication.
    • Ballinger Mono and Ballinger (2018). Published by Signature Type Foundry, Max explains: Ballinger began life as a single-weight proprietary typeface called baasic [...] We have developed it into a fully-featured eight-weight family with matching italics. Sources include early 20th century jobbing sanses like Morris Benton's News Gothic, and Candia, a 70s-era typewriter face Josef Müller-Brockmann designed for Olivetti, which had unusually deep junctures that added energy to letters like m and n. The family takes its name from Raymond A. Ballinger, the great mid-century American designer, author of "Lettering Art in Modern Use," and champion of elegance and readability. Ballinger has large counters and a generous x-height. Followed in 2019 by Ballinger Condensed.
    • Mortise (2019). A welcome addition to the slab serif genre by Sean Mongey and Max Phillips. Max writes that the long, slightly curved vertical serifs give it a raffish, mustache-twirling air.
    • Sinter (2019). A gaspipe sans.
    • Tenon (2019). A great sans based on Mortise. By Sean Mongey and Max Phillips.
    • Dashiell (2020, Text, Bright, Fine). He writes that it is an attempt to combine the warmth and frankness of Caslon with the lucid elegance of Garamond.

    • T4-TYMAGaramont (2007). Its designer, Bo Berndal, writes: The TYMA Garamont Roman was inspired by the Berner-Egenolff type sample from the 1560s. The Italic was inspired by a sample from Robert Granjon, also from the 1560s. The name TYMA is short for AB Typmatriser, a Swedish company founded 1948, because the Second World War stopped all import of matrices for Linotype and Intertype typesetting machines. It took until 1951-52 before the import was up to speed again. Until then, Sweden had to fend for itself. TYMA produced all technical equipment needed for type production, including the pantograph to cut the matrices, a complete set for each size and version. The templates for Garamont Roman were initiated by Henry Alm 1948. Bo Berndal was hired the following year, and continued the work by drawing and cutting templates for the rest of Garamont Roman, as well as for the remaining Garamont family. Bo Berndal stayed at TYMA until it went bankrupt in 1952. At that time Bo Berndal had already kick-started his career as type designer by drawing the typeface Reporter for one of the big daily newspapers, Aftonbladet, a version of Cheltenham for another daily, Dagens Nyheter, and copied several old typefaces for other customers. Librarian Sten G. Lindberg at The Royal Library of Stockholm, Kungliga Biblioteket, procured copies of original type samples. Henry Alm started the work in 1948, and Bo Berndal completed it - finally in this OpenType version.
