Lui Karner
Austrian designer (b. Melk, 1948). Giovanni de Faccio and Lui Karner run the Austrian foundry DF Type (or: Fischbachpresse). They made the very classy text family called Rialto dF (1999, CAST), a humanist antiqua with lots of alternates and extra characters. The designers writes: The letterforms of Rialto dF were drawn directly in digital format with a starting point deriving from humanistic letterforms memorized in the hearts, minds and the manual ability of its designers. Rialto comes in two optical sizes, Rialto Piccolo dF (less than 14pt) and Rialto Grande dF (more than 14pt). Alternate characters and various dingbats are also provided and these are available through OpenType features developed by type designer and technician Karsten Luecke. Work on Rialto started in 1995. Rialto won an award at the TDC2 Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition 2002. |
