\nADAC 40th Anniversary Season mailer (2006-7)<\/em><\/p>\n

Stefan Hattenbach is a font designer from Sweden who I first met thru Rod Cavazos at Psy\/Ops<\/a>. His types always take me to another place. The forms are rooted in history, but his interpretations are all his own. And his typographic ornaments\u00a0are exquisite.<\/p>\n

\nAnziano ornaments<\/em><\/p>\n

I used his Anziano fonts<\/a> for ADAC’s<\/a> 40th Anniversary Season – teamed with a beta version of Stefan’s Beef fonts<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Beef will (finally) <\/em>be released next year thru Veer. And I should note, Stefan is a vegetarian. Beef is pure irony. <\/p>\n

Also a couple years back, my students picked Stefan’s fonts for use in the 2008 edition of the American River Review<\/em> literary magazine.<\/a> I was one of the advisors at the time; the students’ picks were uncoached – they found and selected the fonts on their own. I was surprised, then they were surprised when I said, ‘Hm. Interesting find. I know the designer.’<\/p>\n

And
\nHere’s an interview with Stefan<\/a> at Dyna Kau’s Girl of All Work {At Play}<\/em> blog.<\/p>\n
