Alfons Schneider German type designer, b. 1890, Groitzsch, d. 1946, Mühlberg/Elbe. He studied at the Staatlichen Akademie für graphische Künste und Buchgewerbe in Leipzig, where he taught typography from 1934 onwards. Alfons Schneider created the blackletter typeface Franken Deutsch (1934-1939, Ludwig Wagner), and the didone family Pergamon Antiqua (1937, Ludwig Wagner; +Mager, +schmalhalbfett, +halbfett, +fett, +schmalfett), and Pergamon Kursiv (1938). L. Wagner mentions the typefaces Pergamon Werkschrift, Pergamon Kursiv halbfett, Pergamon Kursiv kräftig and Pergamon schmalhalbfett. Schneider published all his typefaces at L. Wagner. Pergamon was digitally revived in 2016 by Coen Hofmann at URW++ as Fontforum Pergamon. More than a decade before that, Softmaker created its own digital revival, P700 Deco. Franken Deutsch was revived in 2015 by Peter Wiegel as CAT Franken Deutsch.
