Type Gallery – Wiesbaden Swing
Font Designer: Rosemarie Kloos-Rau
German designer Rosemarie Kloos-Rau created Wiesbaden Swing™ in 1992 for Linotype. This light, informal typeface is based on her own handwriting, and the strokes have a feeling of spontaneity and energetic flair. Characters like the D, O, W, g, n and y really do swing with unbridled confidence and joy. Kloos-Rau says about her typeface: “From the experience with my design company I recognized the need for fonts with personality. Wiesbaden Swing is my contemporary contribution to the field of calligraphy, a headline font which offers a fresh and unconventional approach to typography.“

This family has both regular and bold weights, a Cyrillic version, and a set of Dingbats. The Dingbats are light-hearted and zippy symbols for holidays, children’s products, menus, and more.
Wiesbaden Swing will add zest to packaging, catalogs, menus, websites, greeting cards, and magazine layouts. It mixes well with sans-serif fonts like Frutiger®, Univers®, or Helvetica® – such combinations make lively and modern-looking typographic statements.
