  • Miniblock (2009, by Manuel Guerrero) is created to stack letters next to each other to look like labyrinths. It won an award in the Tipos Latinos 2008 competition for best text family.
  • Optica (2008, Manolo Guerrero) is a tribute to Colombian artist Omar Rayo's optical art.
  • Block02 (2009, Manolo Guerrero) is a FontStruct font that is part pixelized, part stencil.
  • Optica (2008, Manolo G) is an optical experiment.
  • Chicha (2012, Diego Sanz) is based on Peruvian market signs.
  • Quincha (2009, Diego Sanz) is the quechua word for stone wall. Letters can be packed together in a way that reminds one of ancient Inca art.
  • Casiopea (2010) is a corporate or signage type family that comes in six weights including Bold and Thin.

  • Calmetta (2017). Designed at Dalton Maag as an extension of Dalton Maag's wayfinding font Pantograph originally created by Marc Weymann.
  • Speaker at ATypI 2018 in Antwerp (together with Eloise Parrack) on a revival project summarized as follows: In November 2017 an international cohort on the Expert Class in Type Design, based in the UNESCO world heritage site of the Museum Plantin-Moretus, embarked upon a collaborative project to research and revive a Renaissance-era typeface of the Flemish punchcutter Hendrik van den Keere from the collection of Christophe Plantin. Comparing Van den Keere's well-known Real Romain (1575) and Ascendonica Romain (1577) with his Small Pica Roman (1578), and investigating the patterning, proportions, and details, our research led to the design of a revival using Small Pica Roman at 9-point Didot size as a departure. Evaluations of the approaches of working in metal and standardization in type design at different optical sizes were considered, and were contrasted to methods and tools of digital typeface design today. The unique and rich historic archive of punches, matrices, and printed materials provided an exciting basis for our research, leading to some surprising discoveries counter to our expectations and to accepted theories found in many typography and type design texts. This project provoked a wide range of interpretations, approaches, and opinions about how to create a contemporary usable digital typeface, whilst honouring and imagining the intentions of Van den Keere five centuries past.

Ingrid Liche

German freelancer who made FF Liant (1995, a Menhart-style Czech face) and Clair (1995) at FontFont. FontShop link. FontShop writes about FF Liant: In 1976 Ingrid Liche began designing Liant Medium for the packaging of the natural cosmetic company Weleda AG in Germany. Since then this typeface has defined the corporate identity of Weleda worldwide and because of this company's prestige, the look to the entire natural cosmetic and biologically oriented industry. Because of a split of opinions in the international company in 1994, the mother company in Switzerland decided to introduce a new house face; thereby giving up the brand name recognition that had been established over twenty years... Because of the turn in events and since Liche still owned the rights to Liant, she decided to distribute the typeface exclusively over FontShop International. She re-digitized the font, adding several ligatures and expanding the typeface to a three weight family. The most noticable characteristic of the font is its lively lines, the forms for which are taken from nature. Within the individual characters there is an exchange of sinking and rising points, which are connected by taut curves. [Google] [MyFonts] [More]  ⦿

One of his alphabets was scanned and fonted by "Character" and posted on abf on November 25, 2002. It is called Flotner. For other free fonts, see Flotner Anthropomorphic (2010, Dick Pape) and Menschenalphabet (1997, Ingo Zimmermann). [Google] [More]  ⦿

[Rúben Dias]

Portuguese designer Rúben Dias graduated in design from IADE. He ran Item Zero and built his own letterpress studio, where he prints and experiments with both metal and wood type. Since 2012 he has been working on a doctoral degree on Portuguese Royal Printing Office typefaces at the Technical University of Lisbon's School of Architecture (FA-UTL). He teaches typography at ESAD.CR (Escola Superior de Arte e Design) and ESTAL and holds workshops on type and typography all across Portugal. In 2013, Aprígio Morgado, Ricardo Santos and Rúben Dias cofounded the type foundry Tipos da Letras.

Designer of the promising font Oban (2002), which resulted in the production of a formidable sans family, Oban (2006), in which all straight lines have been replaced by curvatures one could find on TV screens from the 1960s. An elegant display family! It got raving reviews and was compared in style with Mayo (Peter Bruhn), Gregarious (Mike Kohnke), Crank8 Plus/Minus (Henk Elenga), Ectoplasm (T-26) and Armchair Modern (PsyOps).

Type designs include Medro (2008), Quarto (2006), Arco (2009), Euro 2012 (2010, a rounded sans).

In 2012, he published the elliptical sans family Taca at Fountain Type and republished it in 2015 at his own type foundry. He calls it a squircle---neither square nor circle, and explains: We usually associate the rounded, convex box with the television screens of the 1960s and Aldo Novarese's classic typeface, Eurostile. But whereas Eurostile is cold and machined, Taca is warm and rugged, as if it was molded from clay or carved from stone. It adds a bit of anthroposophic warmth and mystery.

Waldorf Fonts
[Joachim Frank]

Joachim Frank from Filderstadt, Germany, specializes in anthroposophical typefaces. His fonts include the Filirator (1998, a free linocut / wood print font at Dafont inspired by an old house font of an anthroposophical clinic in Germany), Waldorfduo, Waldorfitalic, Waldorf Outline, Waldorf Schmal, Waldorf Schrift, Waldorfshadow, and Lisa (a free handwriting font). The Waldorfschrift family was created in digital form in the years 1993-1994 by Joachim Frank, inspired by the naturally organic letters from the anthroposophical movement of the 20th century of Rudolf Steiner.

Mike Diaz pointed out that Waldorfschrift is really really close to Ingrid Liche's FF Liant (1995) about which FontFont writes: In 1976 Ingrid Liche began designing Liant Medium for the packaging of the natural cosmetic company Weleda AG in Germany. Since then this typeface has defined the corporate identity of Weleda worldwide and because of this company's prestige, the look to the entire natural cosmetic and biologically oriented industry. Because of a split of opinions in the international company in 1994, the mother company in Switzerland decided to introduce a new house face; thereby giving up the brand name recognition that had been established over twenty years... Because of the turn in events and since Liche still owned the rights to Liant, she decided to distribute the typeface exclusively over FontShop International. She re-digitized the font, adding several ligatures and expanding the typeface to a three weight family. The most noticable characteristic of the font is its lively lines, the forms for which are taken from nature. Within the individual characters there is an exchange of sinking and rising points, which are connected by taut curves.

Typefaces from 2021: Wouldkat (a woodcut font inspired by an old house font of an anthroposophical hospital in Germany; soon after its release removed and renamed to Filirator).

Typefaces from 2022: Skinni (high-waisted and hand-crafted, appropriate for Giacometti statues), Lui (a wide anthroposophic font), Zumbo (hand-crafted letters with an African theme), Lakrits (a primitive hand-printed font influenced by the LogosNazhdag font), Suki (emulating a children's hand).

Weltfremd
[Malwin Béla Hürkey]

Malwin Béla Hürkey (b. 1989, Mainz, Germany) is a Wiesbaden, Germany-based graphic designer, photographer and also the founder of Weltfremd (est. 2010). He studied at University of Art and Design Offenbach, Bauhaus University Weimar, and University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden.

Malwin created Mars (2011, an ultra-fat octagonal face) and Merkur (2011, a triangulated face). Initially, the fonts were free, but in 2011, they became commercial.

In 2014, while studying at HfG Offenbach, Malwin designed the Japanese Inkan seal-themed typeface Nihon. This vertical order typeface has over 30,000 ligatures to make the characters fully interlocking.

Inspired by the pioneering prefab architecture of Ernst May in Siedlung Römerstadt, Germany, Malwin created the anthroposophic typeface Bautype in 2015. Bautype is a geometric sans-serife with a humanist touch, suitable headlines and simple text.
