À propos de la famille


The »Ege Basalt« typeface is derived from the original »Basalt« typeface, created by Eduard Ege in 1926/27 and published by Genzsch & Heyse. The »Basalt« typeface itself was a simplified version of the »Ege-Schrift«, also designed by Eduard Ege in 1921 and published by Genzsch & Heyse. Initially, both typefaces were exclusively all-caps. In 1934, »Basalt« was enhanced with a lowercase alphabet, which has unfortunately been largely lost to time. The only surviving example of the lowercase letters is found in a flyer distributed in the Netherlands during World War II, showcasing the letters a, c, g, h, i, n, r, s, u, and w. Drawing inspiration from the design principles of these surviving letters, type designer Lena Schmidt crafted the remaining lowercase letters, resulting in a complete alphabet. As such, this typeface serves as a revival, but it leans more towards an interpretation of the historical original rather than a precise reproduction. Ideal for branding, editorial design, and web applications, the »Ege Basalt« typeface combines historical significance with modern usability, making it a versatile choice for various design projects.
