Hermann Schardt
Type designer (b. Essen, 1912, d. Essen, 1984) who created fonts at Klingspor such as Folkwang (1949), about which Berry, Johnson and Jaspert write: A somewhat exotic roman in which lower case like upright italic The serifs the ends the arms and are the under side only The J has an unusual design. Schardt studied at the Essener Kunstgewerbeschule and taught at that institute from 1935 onwards. In 1948 he became director of the Folkwang Werkkunstschule. Folkwang was digitally revived by P22 as P22 Folkwang Pro (2017; Patrick Griffin). An earlier digital revival is OPTI Frome (Castcraft). |
