For decades, Paul Renner (1878–1956) was one of Germany’s leading designers. Best known for Futura, Paul Renner also created several other typefaces over the course of his career.

Closely tied to Paul Renner’s own formal calligraphic style, Renner Antiqua never caught on in the same manner as Futura, despite the merits of its characters.

In 2008, Patrick Strietzel revived the family, bringing this element of Paul Renner’s work to a mass audience for the first time.

The complete family sells for $351; individual faces start are $39.
