ABOUT

Joseph Maria Olbrich

Joseph Maria Olbrich (b. 1867, Troppau, Austria, which today is Opava in the Czech Republic; d. Düsseldorf, Germany, 1908, from leukemia) was an Austrian architect, and co-founder of the Vienna Secession artistic group, which was formed in 1897 by a number of Austrian painters, sculptors, and architects who had resigned from the Association of Austrian Artists, including Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffmann, Joseph Maria Olbrich himself, Max Kurzweil, Otto Wagner, and others. His architectural works, especially his exhibition buildings for the Vienna and Darmstadt Secessions, have had a strong influence on the development of the Art Nouveau Style. Like most architects of that period, he drew several alphabets, such as these Modern German capitals.

Nick Curtis designed Olbrich display NF based on a 1907 typeface by Joseph Maria Olbrich.
