Font Designer - Anne Boskamp

The German designer Anne Boskamp created Linotype Merlin™ in 1994 and Goodies™ in 2002.
Linotype Merlin is part of the Take Type Library, which features the winners of Linotype’s International Digital Type Design Contest from 1994 to 1997. The font is included in the Take Type No. 2 CD which contains 230 fonts.
The alphabet of Linotype Merlin consists exclusively of capital letters. At the same time aggressive and sensitive, Merlin looks as though it were scratched onto paper with a pen tip saturated with ink. Like characters from another time, the letters fall into place and make an impression which is both vulnerable and strong, lively and reserved. Merlin’s historical roots lie in the archaic pictograms in the caves of Stone Age civilizations.
Goodies is a fun font from the new Take Type No. 5 which contains 204 exclusive, contemporary fonts for electronic publishing.
