Typographer and graphic artist (b. 1856, Verona, d. 1934, Vienna). Author of Beispiele künstlerischer Schrift, 5 Folgen (1900-1926) and Unterricht in ornamentaler Schrift (1905). His wife, Frau Hertha von Larisch, gave most of his work to the Klingspor Museum in Offenbach. Some samples from his books are here. Larisch taught lettering at Kunstgewerbeschule (School of the Commercial Arts) and Akademie der Bildenden Kunste (Academy for Visual Arts), both in Vienna. Digital descendants include Larisch (2007, HiH), an all-caps handlettered design based on the title page of Beispiele Kunstlerischer Schrift (1903). Samples of his work: an outline capitals alphabet, an art nouveau piece entitled Moderne Architektur. In 1995, Harald Suess wrote about him in die Deutsche Schrift, Nr. 117, volume 4: A | B | C | D | E. |
