Alberto Giacometti Swiss sculptor, painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, 1901-1966. He is known for his surrealist and expressionist work. His emaciated sculptures reflect a view that all modern life is empty and superficial. Some typefaces were influenced by Giacometti's art: Giacometti Pi by Sine Bergmann, 1994. For this, Sine won an award in the Bukvaraz 2001 competition. Together with Lenore Poth, Sine expanded her font family in 2008 with the handwriting typeface Giacometti Letter. She also designed Jump (2008, handwriting face, Linotype) and Linotype Festtagsfont (1999), a festive stick figure typeface in the style of Giacometti Pi. Thomas Finke's handlettered face Bergell (Letraset, 1991). Letraset writes: The work of Alberto Giacometti inspired this spontaneous, calligraphic style created by German graphic designer Thomas Finke. Although somewhat abstract, this typeface is highly legible and benefits from generous letter spacing.
