Zierde GroteskDesigner: Lewis McGuffie
Publisher: Lewis McGuffie Type
Zierde Grotesk was created by Lewis McGuffie and published by Lewis McGuffie Type. Zierde Grotesk contains 13 styles and family package options. p > Zierde is a take on early marketing, small-copy grotesks of the late 19th/early 20th century, and is mainly inspired by Miller & & Richard's own variety of Grotesques. More significantly, Zierde is accompanied by a big set of accessories (+200) which return the look-and-feel of the early-modernist arts and crafts movement. The ornaments in, and discussion of, Zierde owe much credit to J.G Schelter & & Giesecke's 1913 type specimen book 'Die Zierde'. The strong practical uppercase sans-serifs together with luscious, beautiful patterns in 'Die Zierde' make for stunning mixes. This early-modernist use of grotesk together with ornament looks strange in the eyes people utilized to seeing sans-serifs in more official, sterile settings. The face itself keeps some historic flourishes such as the eccentric leaning angle of the italics, the long cross-bar on the 'G', the gammy-leg of the 'R', a strange ampersand and some irregular terminals across the weights. Zierde is display face indicated for headlines, titles, short-copy, labels and logos. It comes in caps and little caps, Latin and Cyrillic.
