Member Max… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Does anyone know of typfaces by Jan Tschichold, that are digitized and available? Max Kisman Link to comment
Member Ren… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Iwan reschniew was »quick and easy method of contructing a typeface« (leicht und schnell konstruierbare Schrift). If you can read german, read this, too. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Here's one I didn't know about: Classical Garamond. There is also Tschicholina, by Typ-O-Tones. Link to comment
Member Flo… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Classical Garamond is Bitstream’s Sabon. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ah, I see. Thanks, Florian. (And speaking of Sabon, I suppose that Sabon Next does not qualify, even though it builds on the original design.) Link to comment
Member Jan… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Sabon Next does not qualify, even though it builds on the original design. There isn’t one original design of Sabon. There are three. Discussed here. Link to comment
Member pic… Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Max! How are you? :=) Tschichold, created in digital form and extended by Thierry Puyfulhoux, is great. And, of course, Architype Tschichold by The Foundry. Link to comment
Member Max… Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hello Claudio and others, Thank you for your comments. Friends of mine are preparing a small exhibition on Jan Tschichold in the Dutch Graphic Design Museum in the city of Breda (opening end of February). They wondered if there were any of the Tschichold typefaces digititally available. They knew about the Sabon. I'll check also with David Quay of the Foundry for what else he'd know. Thanks, Max Link to comment
Member Ale… Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Regarding Sabon Next, Keith posted a report from ATypI 2002 which I find interesting ; apparently Jean François Porchez tried to bring back the Stempel version and come back to the roots of the Stempel version as well : "This version is a careful revival of Garamond, however it is not a Garamond itself." This thread was great, too, just for fun but witty. Link to comment
Member Mic… Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 A client of a client of mine, who is working on that exibition found the following; http://tipografos.net/fonts/transito.html Please zoom in on the PDF... Link to comment
Member Max… Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks Micha, Alessandro, for the response. I assume your client is my good friend and collegue Lies Ros... Link to comment
Member dbe… Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What do you need? Cheers! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 There isn’t one original design of Sabon. There are three. Belated thanks for that link, Jan. Looking forward to reading. :-) Link to comment
Member Mic… Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Your assumption is right Max! And Lettergrafica is the other party. Link to comment
Member pic… Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 If you need Thierry Puyfulhoux email, just drop me a message, Max. I used to be in tough with him years ago and I see his site was suspended, but if he still uses his old email, you'll be able to reach him for his Tsichold. Link to comment
Member Ind… Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe you also can check with Christopher Burke about Tschichold. Link to comment
Member spe… Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I used to be in tough with him Ah, go easy on the guy... Link to comment
Member Kla… Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Tschichold worked on another stencil typeface which was never published. It will be offered soon under the name "Ivan Stencil". You can find drawings and drafts from 1929 from Tschichlods work on the stencil type in the book of Christopher Burke, "Active literature – Jan Tschichold and New Typography", Hyphen Press, London, on page 162-165.
