ABOUT

Paul Zimmermann

Paul Zimmermann (b. 1920, Mosbach, Eichenach, d. 2017) studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig between 1945 and 1949. From 1957 onwards, he worked as a freelance designer. His typefaces:

• The brush script Impuls (1954; often misdated as 1945), a handwriting font done at Johannes Wagner and published by Typoart as well. Bitstream made digital version called Brush 439 and ImpulsBT, SoftMaker released I770 Script, and Ralph M. Unger made Impuls Pro (2010).
• At Ludwig Wagner, Paul Zimmermann released Antiqua Florenz (1960), which is based on Venetian romans. According to Berry, Johnson and Jaspert, the typeface is close to Aldus. Ralph Unger digitally revived and extended it in 2021, also as Antiqua Florenz.
