Almost half a century has passed since Hans Eduard Meier drew the first pencil sketches in 1955 which would provide the basis for the forms and scope of today´s Linotype Syntax typeface family. Considering the technical developments which led from hot metal composition to digitization, the passage of time is a strong affirmation of the timelessness of the Syntax design. The five weights of Syntax Antiqua were the last hot metal types produced by the German type foundry Stempel AG. The [...]
"Am 30. Dezember 1922 kam ich in der Schweiz, in Horgen am Zürichsee, zur Welt. In einem grossen Haus mit grossem Garten verbrachte ich meine Jugend, und viel Freizeit verbrachte ich auf dem See mit Segeln, Paddeln, Schwimmen und Fischen. Zeichnen und Malen waren aber seit meiner frühesten Kindheit meine Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Nach den Schulen absolvierte ich eine Lehre als Schriftsetzer. Anschliessend besuchte ich die Fachklasse für Typografie und die Fachklasse für Grafik an der Schule [...]
The sans serif typeface Syntax™ was designed by Switzerland’s Hans Eduard Meier, based on the proportions of a Renaissance roman type. It went into use in 1968 as the last hot-metal typeface from the D. Stempel type foundry. And has remained a classic through a variety of technical changes and adaptations.

About Linotype Syntax® Lapidar Serif Display Medium ...

Linotype usage sample for Linotype Syntax® Lapidar Serif Display Medium
Designer: Hans Eduard Meier, 2000
Linotype Syntax® Lapidar Serif Display Medium belongs to the Linotype Syntax® Lapidar Serif Display Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
Modeled on the writings chiseled in stone in the second century B.C., Syntax™ Lapidar is an energetic, spirited typeface designed by Hans Eduard Meier in 2000. Linotype Syntax Lapidar Text and Linotype Syntax Lapidar Serif Text have five weights each, with both cap and lowercase letterforms. Lapidar Display and Lapidar Serif Display also have five weights each, with mostly all cap letterforms and many alternates. It's a terrifically fun and inventive family, and if you look closely, you can see the resemblance to the more modern and restrained Syntax™ relatives. Great for menus, artist books, travelogues, or advertising - and if used very sparingly, it could add just the right element of lapidary significance to corporate documents.
