Other than the purely letterforms of the sans serif faces of the 1950s and 60s, the Hildegard™
typeface is marked by its more humanized character forms of destinct individuality. On close inspection, one will discover a world of subtle angle
variation within the letters' structure that is loosely inspired the stroke movements one uses in calligraphy.
These built-up strokes create visible ink traps at many joints, which in smaller sizes play a functional as well as an aesthetic role.
The Hildegard™ family of typefaces may be used in either text or display sizes. The family includes the following six fonts:
Hildegard™ Regular Hildegard™ Italic Hildegard™ Bold Hildegard™ Bold Italic. {Hildegard™ Light & Hildegard™ Light Italic are in preparation} Jan Sonntag is the designer of the Hildegard™ typeface, which received one of several awards in the 2003 International Type Design Contest, sponsored by Linotype GmbH.
