ABOUT

Henk Krijger

Dutch illustrator, b. 1914, Sumba, Indonesia, d. 1979. Designer at Lettergieterij Amsterdam of the slightly scribbly pen-drawn Raffia Initialen (1952). At ATypI 2003 in Vancouver, Peter Enneson highlighted Krijger and his Raffia Initials.

Digital revivals:

• AR Types did a digital revival, Raffia (2008).
• Ian Lynam's revival is called Raffish (2013). It is a derivative rather than an exact revival.
• Henk Krijger Raffia Initials (2014, Patrick Griffin and Peter Enneson). This typeface (Opentype, and Adobe Illustrator formats) is based on photocopied reproductions and digital photographic images of the master drawings.
