ABOUT

Weltfremd [Malwin Béla Hürkey]

Malwin Béla Hürkey (b. 1989, Mainz, Germany) is a Wiesbaden, Germany-based graphic designer, photographer and also the founder of Weltfremd (est. 2010). He studied at University of Art and Design Offenbach, Bauhaus University Weimar, and University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden.

Malwin created Mars (2011, an ultra-fat octagonal face) and Merkur (2011, a triangulated face). Initially, the fonts were free, but in 2011, they became commercial.

In 2014, while studying at HfG Offenbach, Malwin designed the Japanese Inkan seal-themed typeface Nihon. This vertical order typeface has over 30,000 ligatures to make the characters fully interlocking.

Inspired by the pioneering prefab architecture of Ernst May in Siedlung Römerstadt, Germany, Malwin created the anthroposophic typeface Bautype in 2015. Bautype is a geometric sans-serife with a humanist touch, suitable headlines and simple text.
