The design of Kristall Grotesk is based on a cut by Wagner & Schmidt, Leipzig, from the 30s of the last century. The basis for the digital version of the Stiftung Werkstattmuseum für Druckkunst , Leipzig was the standard font (28p) of the manual cuts as offered by the font foundry Johannes Wagner, Ingolstadt. The implementation was deliberately created as a replica to create a faithful reproduction as a starting point for the design of other design sizes. The present Kristall Grotesk is therefore a headline design. The appearance of the typeface can be varied by a number of alternative forms of capitals, which, according to the taste of the time, contain either pointed or flat formations.

Download The Fudge Font Family From The Ampersand Forest The Fudge takes his inspiration from a proud tradition of big display serif type. He's an eclectic fellow — he borrows style elements from early 20th century humanism, from the Scotch Roman tradition, and from contemporary trends. He ranges from zero contrast in his Skinny form to voluptuously high contrast in his Chonk persona, which makes him fantastic for expressiveness and massive contrast in headlines and subheads, giving your designs a dynamic voice and a great range of color. The Fudge is designed to be equal parts friendly and elegant—he'd look a treat on a theatre poster or on a package of caramels, on a book cover or on a website, in bold color or in stark black and white. As long as the subject matter is delicious—whether it's food or literature or music or… anything that requires a strong, assertive, approachable choice! Download The Fudge Font Family From
