Carl Marx was a student of Joost Schmidt at the Bauhaus, and the design that Hidetaka Yamasaki turned into the typeface CarlMarx was originally drawn with brush and marker. Hurka drew additional small caps to make up for Alfarn’s missing lower case, which adds versatility to the well-balanced design. Her source material came from a set of capital letters that Bauhuas student Alfred Arndt drew for a poster in 1923. Preuss is a student of type design at HGB Leipzig.Ĭéline Hurka, a student at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, captures the spirit of 1920s Bauhaus-influenced posters with Alfarn. Reross is available in two styles, Quadratic and Rectangular - both designed to a strict grid system but playing with different x-heights. Under the supervision of Spiekermann and Ulrich, the students designed fresh new fonts based on the original source materials.Įlia Preuss used source material from two different Bauhaus students for Reross: Reinhold Rossig, whose alphabet from 1929 is the primary influence, and Hermann Werner Kubsch, whose poster designs informed the alternate glyphs. Project co-coordinators Erik Spiekermann and Ferdinand Ulrich worked with instructors at five different design schools to nominate students to participate in the project. Fittingly, these fonts are now a reality thanks to type design students a few generations beyond the Bauhaus era.
