A new typeface: Rabenau by Axel Bertram

Anyone with a love of typography will doubtless be interested to learn that a new typeface is now available through Linotype – Rabenau, a well structured font family available in 16 carefully coordinated styles. Rabenau’s warm personality make it perfect for setting text, but it is just as happy in headlines and display formats. The experienced graphic designer Axel Bertram, who has been producing fonts for the past 30 years, has provided Rabenau with a wealth of different ligatures. The arcs used to create the ligatures st, ck and ct give the font an individual character.
Go to Linotype.com for an extensive article on Rabenau with many examples of applications – you will find it well worth a look!

Five of our Typefaces won ATypI Competition Letter.2

561 typefaces were submitted, only 53 got an award. Five of them are coming from Linotype’s and Monotype Imaging’s typeface libraries.
What I’m talking about is the Letter.2 typeface design competition that was hosted by the well-known typographic organization Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI) this year. A few days ago, the winners were announced as the best typeface designs of the last decade.

We proudly present our winning typefaces as follows:

  • Neue Haas Grotesk™ by Christian Schwartz (2011)
  • Veljović Script™ by Jovica Veljović (2009)
  • Egyptian Slate™ by Rod McDonald (2008)
  • Pirouette™ by Ryuichi Tateno (2003)
  • Mundo Sans™ by Carl Crossgrove (2002)

It was only the second competition conducted by ATypI in its 54-year history. The first, Bukva:raz!, which is russian and means letter.1, was held 10 years ago.
