Johannes Hendrikus Moesman
Dutch self-taught railroad employee, painter and calligrapher (1909-1988) from Utrecht (Schalkwijk, to be more precise) who designed the calligraphic text typeface Petronius (1961-1975), which can only be found nowadays in the specimen booklet "Op Engelvoeten" (1975), available in the University of Amsterdam Library. An incomplete specimen is on page 301 of Jan Middendorp's "Dutch Type". The Amsterdam-based company Typo Delvos used it for typesetting some texts. (Delvos no longer exists.) Moesman also designed a simplified Arabic typeface (he liked Arabic for its calligraphic origins). He was an artist at hart, who produced various surrealistic and/or erotic paintings.
