ABOUT

Jan Fromm

Jan Fromm (b. 1976, Berlin) is a freelance graphic designer who has studied graphic design at the University of Applied Science in Potsdam. He works in the fields of illustration, web, corporate and type design for several firms in Berlin. Since 2004 he has worked for Luc(as) de Groot at FontFabrik.

He created the legible and very simple sans family Camingo (2006: 7 weights, 56 styles in all; read comments), Camingo Dos (2008, 28 styles, elliptic roundings), CamingoDos Condensed and SemiCondensed (each with a further 28 styles), Camingo Dos Office (2011), Camingo Code (2013, a free family for programming), Camingo Mono (2013) and Camingo Slab (2017).

Rooney (2010) is a warm rounded serif family. Rooney Sans (2012) is a rounded humanist sans.

In 2015, he published the 16-style sturdy subtly stressed sans family Komet (and Komet Pro).

In 2019, he released Capito at Future Fonts: Capito originates from experimenting with different angles of the broad nib pen, in order to find the right form for a sturdy and readable serif typeface. As a result, Capito has a slightly reversed contrast that emphasizes the horizontal flow, while preserving the character and readability of classical serif letters.

In 2022, Jan Fromm released the versatile (variable) type system Nice at Fontwerk. Nice transports the baroque aesthetic to 2022, and includes four optical sizes and 56 styles in total. Proof&Co writes that Nice is a real masterclass in serif design.
