Schmalfette

$29.99

Schmalfette is the result of another collaboration between designers Jason Walcott and Rob King. King suggested that Walcott revive this wonderful sans-serif typeface from the mid 1950s. Originally designed by Walter Haettenschweiler in 1954, Schmalfette Grotesk was used for many years in the German magazine "Twen". The typeface was notoriously hard to acquire at the time and graphic designers in the USA often resorted to cutting letters from the Twen magazines and reusing them in their own designs. At Rob King's suggestion, Jason Walcott has strived to recreate the most faithful digital revival possible of the original Schmalfette Grotesk so anyone who has ever searched for this typeface now has a version available that most closely resembles Haettenschweiler's original work.

Jukebox & CounterPoint fonts are available in OpenType format and downloadable packages contain both .otf and .ttf versions of the font. They are compatible on both Mac and Windows. All fonts contain basic OpenType features as well as support for Latin-based and most Eastern European languages. 

Each quantity of "1" in the shopping cart represents a single license for up to 5 computers. Please select a quantity based on the number of computers you need to install the font on accordingly.
