Referenz Grotesk specimen from Sudtipos

A German grotesque referencing the type-design history of Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, and designers Schneidler, Reiner, Brudi, Weidemann and Heine.

About

Referenz Grotesk emerged from extensive research into the Academy's archive, where the majority of Kurt Weidemann's estate is held alongside works by F.H. Ernst Schneidler and Walter Brudi. Some of Schneidler's freshly cast fonts, tested at the Academy's own typesetting workshop, fed directly into the research.

Classification

Draws on the type-design history of Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, referencing Schneidler, Reiner, Brudi, Weidemann and Heine rather than a single historical model.
