The joy of calligraphy.

“The making of letters in every form is for me the purest and the greatest pleasure, and at many stages of my life it was to me what a song is to the singer, a picture to the painter, a shout to the elated, or a sign to the oppressed. It was and is for me the most happy and perfect expression of my life.” 

~ Rudolph Koch 




(One of the first German type designers in the Twentieth Century, Rudolph Koch (1876-1934) was a master of lettering, calligraphy, typography and illustration. 

He is best known for his typefaces created for the Klingspor Type Foundry, the most widely used being Neuland and Kabel.)
