Wimaria Gotisch was digitized from an original letterpress font of “Element” originally published in the 1930s by the Bauer type foundry. The design was extended to include a complete Western (Win 1252/Mac Roman) and Central European character set. The optional decorative caps are included as OpenType swash glyphs. In total, the font contains 462 glyphs.

FDI Neumeister B is available in the online design platform Kittl and used in hundreds of designs created through this platform.

After last year’s successful Kickstarter campaign, we digitized the Berthold’s Signal font family as FDI Lettograph. Part two of the project was the creation of vector color fonts in addition to the regular OpenType fonts. The color fonts have now been released under the name FDI Kromograph. FDI Kromograph comes in two styles: FDI Kromograph A is a color font with 5 layers and a 3D effect. FDI Kromograph B is a color font with 3 layers and a color change effect, which is activated through the OpenType feature “contextual alternates”. Both designs come with 10 predefined color palettes, which can be used in desktop design applications which support OpenType SVG fonts. An additional WOFF file implements the color palettes as COLR/CPAL font. The colors can be overridden using CSS. All styles come with a complete Western Latin (Win1252/Mac Roman) character set and contextual alternates for the beginning and end of words.

After last year’s successful Kickstarter campaign, Berthold’s Signal fonts have now been digitized. The Kickstarter supporters got early access to the revival type family, which is called FDI Lettograph. As part of a soft release, supporters of our community platforms Typography.guru and Typografie.info now also get early access before the final public release of FDI Lettograph in 2025.

FDI Lettograph is a faithful revival of Berthold’s Signal fonts, originally released in the 1930s. All three original styles are available as individual OpenType fonts or as one variable font. The digitization was made possible through a Kickstarter campaign. The Kickstarter supporters have already received the fonts. FDI Lettograph is now available as part of a soft release to supporters of our community platforms Typografie.info and Typography.guru. The full public release will be in 2025.
