Linotype Scrap is part of the Take Type Library, chosen
from the entries of the Linotype-sponsored International Digital Type
Design Contests of 1994 and 1997. The font is available in two weights
and was designed by German artist Ingo Preuss. It is as though the forms
of the basic weight were cut with scissors out of pieces of paper. There
are no inner contours, only the outer silhouettes. The capital letters
which make up Scrap Bonus are set on black rectangular backgrounds and
are white and framed with a white contour. This weight includes a number
of different pictograms which were also not spared the scissors. The decorative
Linotype Scrap embodies the comic style of the 1990s and is meant exclusively
for headlines of points sizes 18 and larger. |
