Schriften
aus Leipzig
There are many typeface families to choose from and new ones are added every year. At the HGB Leipzig there is a unique class with a focus on type design, which also includes the positioning of the type designer in today’s digital world. Visual VK students from the Weißensee School of Art in Berlin worked with trial fonts by Fred Smeijers and (former) students from Leipzig. The result is a series of experimental typespecimen. Leading up to this, the fonts were applied to posters and brochures used at events and for calls within the university.
students: Anna Fay, Stavros Gialamidis, Sofia Pinni, Leo Ullrich, Lorenz Willkomm, Margareta Felicia Stern, Oleksandra Pshenychna, Damian Amat-Marwi, Nicolas Papayannis, Aysan Türkmen
