German type and graphic designer, b. 1895, Offenbach, d. 1979, Tann / Rhön. He worked for Gebr. Klingspor until 1934. Designer of the extra bold connected upright scriptish display typeface Salut (1931, Klingspor), which was revived in 1980 by Alan Meeks as Einhorn SH (in the Scangraphic collection). This is called Einhorn by Linotype and ITC Einhorn by ITC. Neither Scangraphic, nor Linotype nor ITC credit Maehler for the original design. A 2000 revival by Nick Curtis is called Unicorn. A 2007 revival and extension by Iza W at Intellecta Design is called Agua.
