Express specimen from ParaType

A bold display script based on Walter Hoehnisch's 1957 Ludwig & Mayer design, extended to Cyrillic by Natalia Vasilyeva in 2001.

About

Originally designed for Ludwig & Mayer in 1957 by Walter Hoehnisch, Express is characterised by tall letterforms with a consistent forward inclination and a single bold weight. The Cyrillic version, developed by Natalia Vasilyeva in 2001, extends the typeface's reach for Russian and related languages. It is suited to advertising, poster work and display typography where an informal, energetic tone is required.

Classification

A tall, bold upright-leaning script with even inclination, rooted in the Ludwig & Mayer typeface of 1957. Its consistent slant and display-weight construction place it firmly in the informal script category.
