Meet Imre Reiner, playful modernest printmaker, lettering artist and typographer

The letters E, F, G as drawn by Imre Reiner.

Hungarian-Swiss painter, printmaker and typographer / lettering artist from the twentieth century. Playful modernist with a strong emphasis on the handwritten. Some images here. Here’s a short article about Reiner by Stephen Heller, which also has this link to this PDF with more images of Reiner’s work. I like his Matura typeface.

(todo: look up the Latvian-Russion calligrapher and book cover designer whose work seems, although less whimsical seems related though their calligraphic approach to typography.)

Edit: That would be Villu Toots, with a few images to look at here and this is the book with 100 book covers.
