Florian Philipp Martin Runge Designer in London, who was born in Flensburg (Germany) and studied for four years in Aarhus (Denmark). He made the contemporary informal typeface Jula (2012). Asgaard was created during the one-week typeface design workshop tipoRenesansa in Trenta, Slovenia (February 2012). It is specially designed for street signage. Runge writes: To achieve great legibility the design paid much attention to features such as: large x-height, open counters, tiny serifs, slightly rounded corners, square terminals as well as inktraps. Research leading to asgaard is described in Runge's paper The echo of architecture in Danish type design of the 20. century. In 2013, Florian graduated from the MATD program at the University of Reading. His graduation typeface was Nomad. In 2016, he published the flared lapidary typeface Sherpa Sans at Rosetta. The naming caused a bit of a stir, not so much because of Oskar Boscovitz's Sherpa Sans (2002), but because of an unpublished font by a competitor. Rosetta took the moral high ground (even though it could have fought this trademark and won) and decided to rename Sherpa Sans Gitan. In 2018, Borna Izadpanah, Fiona Ross and Florian Runge co-designed the free Google Font Markazi Text. They write: This typeface design was inspired by Tim Holloway's Markazi typeface, with his encouragement, and initiated by Gerry Leonidas as a joint University of Reading and Google project. The Arabic glyphs were designed by Borna Izadpanah and design directed by Fiona Ross, they feature a moderate contrast. It takes its cues from the award-winning Markazi typeface, affording a contemporary and highly readable typeface. The complementary Latin glyphs were designed by Florian Runge. It keeps in spirit with its Arabic counterpart, echoing key design characteristics while being rooted in established Latin traditions. It is an open and clear design with a compact stance and an evenly flowing rhythm. Four weights are advertized at Google, but only the Regular is available. Behance link. Cargo collective link.
