The German artist Michael Struller created the font Linotype Salamander™ in 1997. Linotype Salamander is part of the TakeType Library, chosen from contestants of Linotype's International Digital Type Design Contests of 1994 and 1997. The font seems to be composed of strokes and curves jointed together to form characters. Yet Linotype Salamander also looks like a handwriting font, in part because of its slight lean to the right.

Die Linotype Salamander gehört zu den Schriften der TakeType Library . Diese wurden aus der Fülle der Einsendungen der 1994 und 1997 von Linotype ausgeschriebenen Wettbewerbe International Digital Type Design Contest ausgewählt.
Die Linotype Salamander vom Deutschen Michael Struller scheint aus Gliedmaßen zusammengesetzt worden zu sein. Ihre Rundungen wurden durchgehend durch "Gelenke" unterbrochen. Trotzdem hat die Linotype Salamander in ihren Grundzügen Handschriftcharakter, welcher durch die leicht rechtsgeneigte Schriftachse unterstrichen wird. Die Schrift wirkt heiter, leicht und kann asiatische Assoziationen wecken. Die vier Grundschnitte von regular bis demibold wurden durch die beiden kräftigeren Double-Schnitte ergänzt. Die Linotype Salamander eignet sich für kurze Texte ab der Größe von 10 pt und besonders in ihren kräftigeren Schriftschnitten für Überschriften.
