Lotto

Designed by expert ad artist Herbert Thannhaeuser for East German foundry Typoart in 1955, Lotto was until now one of the long lost gems of European sign and brush lettering faces. Unlike in Kurier (Thannhaeuser’s other brush face digitized by Canada Type as Puma), the brush constructs the letter forms using a series a strokes that are mostly sudden, whimsical, and at times even look like great genius being born out of simple afterthought or straight-forward idiosyncracy—for instance, check out the simple brush pause that is the top of the f, the confident yet welcoming serifs on the T, the similarly-themed C-E and O-Q relationship, and much more.

Available in all popular font formats, Lotto contains a few alternates and ligatures sprinkled throughout the character set, and includes support for a wide variety of Latin-based languages.
