ABOUT







Heinz Schumann

Heinz Schumann (b. Chemnitz, 1934, d. Chemintz, 2020) studied under German type designers Albert Kapr and Herbert Thannhaeuser at the University of Graphics and Book Design in Leipzig.

He drew the calligraphic brush typeface Stentor (1964, Typoart), a Mistral competitor. In this style, many still prefer Ron Zwingelberg's Rage Italic. Rosalia (2004, Ingo Preuss) is based on Stentor. Digital versions by Ralph M. Unger (2013, Tyton Pro), Scangraphic (as Stentor SB), Softmaker (called Sterling), Elsner&Flake and URW.

One of his unpublished typefaces from the early 1960s was revived in 2017 by Patrick Griffin and Richard Kegler at P22 as P22 Schumann Pro.
