Galerie typo – Wiesbaden Swing
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.“
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.
