FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Inga Plönnigs Berlin-based German type and graphic designer who studied at University of Art in Braunschweig and TypeMedia / KABK in Den Haag, class of 2016. Before that, she interned at FontFont / FontShop. Her graduation typeface at KABK was the modern grotesque Magnet. It features Text, Headline and Poster subfamilies, and is characterized by a perky-attentive-dog ear on the g. In 2017, she released the free 10-style text typeface Rowan at Fontshare. At Future Fonts, she published Messer (2018, updates in 2019 and 2021). Messer started out as a revival of Weiss Antiqua which was originally designed by Emil Rudolf Weiß in 1928. In 2020, she released the condensed movie credit typeface family Picket at Indian Type Foundry. Picket features a huge x-height. In 2020, Eben Sorkin, Pria Ravichandran, Inga Ploennigs and Dan Reynolds co-designed the sans family Karow at URW. Still in 2020, she published the sans typeface family Zetkin at Future Fonts. Its slightly flared stroke endings remind us of Venus (1907, Bauersche Giesserei). Plein (2021, Fontshare). A free 10-style humanist sans.
