FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Viktor Solt-Bittner Or just Viktor Solt. Born in 1970, Viktor lives in Vienna. He teaches typography and handwriting at the Joanneum in Graz, works in information design and advertising, and is involved in 3-D animation. Designer of Voluta Script (Adobe, 1998), ITC Johann Sparkling (ITC, 1998: a calligraphic script face), ITC Ballerino (ITC, 1999, a great calligraphic script), Leander Script (2012, Adobe) and FF Danubia (2002, an extensive didone text family). All his work has strong calligraphic influences with energetic swashes, rough contours, and looping ascenders and descenders. Plantago (2014). Viktor Solt-Bittner drew logo sketches for an insurance company. After they rejected the design, he turned the sketches into a font family. Later, in 2018, Plantago was expanded, developed and completed by Schriftlabor's type directors Franziska Hubmann and Lisa Schultz. In 2017, Viktor Solt-Bittner designed the industrial sans typeface family Attorney as a custom font for a law firm. It has unconventional---even threatening--- serifs and some hard corners. The typeface was produced by Schriftlabor's type director, Lisa Schultz, and will be enjoyed by hordes of heartless lawyers. FontShop link. MyFonts link. MyFonts catalog. Klingspor link.
