Calligraphy is alive and well and new hands have been developed within the last 100 years that have added depth and variety to our calligraphic toolbox.
Neuland is a fun, chunky hand created by German calligrapher Rudolf Koch (1876 – 1934) almost a hundred years ago. Koch had many creative interests beyond calligraphy including illustration, type design, and book binding. In fact, it was his interest in type design that inspired Neuland. Koch himself loved Fraktur. However, in the case of Neuland, the inspiration went the other way. It is an example of a calligraphic hand inspired by his typeface.
We will learn about Neuland and some other 20th Century scripts with Anne Kaese, a calligrapher and member.
