Hinterland

In my project “Hinterland” I aim at creating a set of typefaces for lettering purposes in my homecountry. In Germany, many traditional vernacular letterforms have been given up after the war and lettering as a graphic discipline has been neglected for a long time. The designs explore various frontiers, between past and present, blackletter and roman type, constructiveness and calligraphy, brush and broad nib, italic and script, lettering and typography.
