Zeugler [Reymund Schroeder] Award-winning German type designer, who co-founded Forgotten Shapes in 2017. NaN descibes him as a type Janus with a two-sided practice, one oriented towards the past as a meticulous archivist-historian, the other towards alternate history called Typographic Uchronias. His typefaces: Tempel Grotesk (2021, Production Type). Tempel Grotesk takes inspiration from old wood types. It is a blocky black sans in four widths. He writes: All that ink creates a fantastically heavy page with rich texture popping through the counterforms. Lector FSL (2017, Forgotten Shapes). A text typeface family about which he writes: Lector FSL (originally named Lector Gewoehnlich and Lector Kursiv) is the digital rework of an original type design by Gert Wunderlich, drawn between 1963-1990. Lector was designed for, but never released by former Typoart (GDR). Published in cooperation with and permission of Gert Wunderlich. Friedlaender. After Elisabeth Friedlaender's Elizabeth (1934). Consul (with Stephan Müller). A revival of Wilhelm Woellmer's Consul (1903-1907). Polja (2013-2014). Polja won an award in the Latin category at the Morisawa Type Design Competition 2014. Edna (2016). He received an Honorable Mention in the Latin category for Edna in 2016 at the Morisawa Type Design Competition 2016. A revival of Schmale Fette Renaissance (Wilhelm Woellmer's Schriftgiesserei Berlin, ca. 1895). Edna Text (2017). A Victorian typeface that revives Halbfette Etienne (Schriftgiesserei Flinsch, 1908). Haiti. A revival of the wood type Dumbria (1885, Holztypenfabrik Sachs). Huber. A revival of the wood type Christina (1885, Holztypenfabrik Sachs). Zeit Tiemann Italic (2013). A custom font for Die Zeite. NaN Hyena (2022). He writes: NaN Hyena is a crisp look at the humanist sans sub-genre, conceived as a sculptural exercise. [...] Hyena started as an extrapolation of the work of 20th century calligrapher and type designer Hildegard Korger. [...] NaN Hyena challenges the idea of type hierarchies. It's thought as a mood spectrum, a subtle play between sharp and soft, as if the shifting light of the sun would cast different shadows on the same object throughout the day bringing familiarity and the unexpected within the same room. Call it Type Impressionism if you like.
