Linda Hintz Linda (Copenhagen, Denmark) studied at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd (2007). A course with Luc[as] de Groot led her to KABK in Den Haag where she obtained a Masters degree in type and media in 2011, and designed the typefaces Ernest, Ernie and Ernesto. She writes: Ernest is a transitional text cut for continuous reading, modest and quite quiet in appearance. His little fellow Ernie is made for small sizes in captions with simplyfied letterforms. In contrast Ernesto works as an image in displaysizes, being a caps only cut with playful alternatives to give a splendid impression. She is based in Copenhagen (since 2014) and works as an independent type designer. In 2017, Linda Hintz and the Monotype Design Team revived Gerard Unger's Praxis (1976) as Praxis Next. In 2015, Gerard Unger, Linda Hintz and Dan Reynolds published Demos Next (2014) at Linotype. In 2018, Linda Hintz and Toshi Omagari published the large geometric sans typeface family Neue Plak that revives and extends Paul Renner's Plak (1928). In 2022, she published the plumpish Pouf (It can inflate and deflate, looks like it's breathing when animated and makes most people smile). FontShop link. Future Fonts link.
