ABOUT







Otto Eckmann

Born in Hamburg, 1865, died in Badenweiler, 1902. Otto Eckmann was a painter, graphic artist and type designer, who did some graphic design for the magazines "Pan" (from 1895 onwards) and "Jugend" (from 1896 onwards). Otto Eckmann's work from around 1900 for Klingspor includes his Munch Jugendstil style typeface from 1901 simply called Eckmann or Eckmann-Schrift (1900, Jugendstil font at the Rudhardsche foundry), his famous Rudhardsche Initialen, and Fette Eckmann (1902). Digital versions of this:

  • Linotype's Eckmann Com.
  • Delbanco's DS Eckmann Schrift.
  • Ralph Unger's Schmuckinitialen (2009) and Initials RMU One (2012).
  • Bitstream's Freeform 710.
  • Elsner&Flake's Eckmann EF.
  • URW's version.
  • Brendel/Softmaker's Etienne Regular.
  • Dieter Steffmann's excellent free font family Rudelsberg (2002), which has styles called Schmuck, Schrift and Initialen. Steffmann has an accompanying Jugendstil Ornamente. Other revivals by Dieter Steffmann include Eckmann Initialen (2002, after the famous art nouveau typeface from 1900 by Otto Eckmann), Eckmann Plakatschrift (2002), Eckmann-Schrift (2002), Eckmann Titelschrift (2002) and Eckmann Schmuck (2002).
  • Peter Wiegel's free font CAT Eckmann (2020).
  • Paper Moon's PM Eckmannschrift (2022), PM Eckmore (2022) and PM Eckmann Initials (2022).
