Dan Reynolds
Dan Reynolds is a Font Engineer & Typographic Specialist at Linotype GmbH in Bad Homburg, Germany. Born in Baltimore, he decided to become a type designer during his first visit to Mainz. In the evenings he does things like help organize the Offenbach Typostammtisch (which he co-founded in 2004), moderate at Typophile.com, and contribute to Slanted, a German typography magazine. Dan is a member of the ATypI and holds a BFA degree in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MA in Typeface Design with distinction from the University of Reading in the UK. He also studied briefly at the HfG Offenbach, Germany, where he first set up his blog, http://www.typeoff.de.

Three typeface families on Linotype.com were created by Dan Reynolds: Malabar™, Morris Sans®, and Mountain. Mountain, from Volcano Type in Karlsruhe, is a 2005 digital revival and extension of Teutonia, an old metal typeface released by the Offenbach Roos & Junge type foundry in 1902. Dan followed this up in 2006 by redrawing, updating, and expanding Bank Gothic, a sans serif design by Morris Fuller Benton; the result was released by Linotype as Morris Sans. Malabar stems from Dan’s MA studies in Reading. It is a sturdy oldstyle serif family; try it out in newspapers!

Malabar received a Certificate of Excellence in Type Design at the Type Directors Club of New York TDC2 competition in 2009.
