Studio Marlon Ilg [Marlon Ilg] Marlon Ilg runs his own graphic design studio in Zurich, Switzerland. His typefaces include A corporate stencil typeface for Salta Art Foundation. A fraktur typeface on an embedded grid background called Grid Fraktur (2021). This typeface is based on a design by Dutch artist and furniture designer Klaas van Leeuwen as shown in Letterboek voor den teekenaar en ambachtsman (1907, G. Schreuders, Amsterdam), a book that shows many compass-and-ruler alphabets. Marlon explains: Lettering of this kind can still be found on architecture from 1900-1920, notably by Dutch architects like K.P.C. de Bazel and J.L.M. Lauweriks (who were friends with Van Leeuwen). The grid in the background of Grid Fraktur helps letterers in the application of the font to different materials and buildings.
