Wolpe Fanfare was designed by Berthold Wolpe, Toshi Omagari and published by Monotype.
Wolpe Fanfare contains 6 styles and family package options.
"Fanfare is such a fun typeface," says Toshi Omagari, who revived the design for The Wolpe Collection. "It was my happiest discovery when I was digging through the Monotype archive. I came across it and had to check the designer's name." No wonder: Fanfare is modern, light and playful – not what you'd expect from an 80-year old design.
From the original, very heavy weight design, Omagari started by creating a black weight, followed by four lighter weights for Wolpe Fanfare, preserving the character of the letterforms all the way down to a thin version. "I wanted to do more than digitize the original weight," he says. "It's surprisingly modern, and its skeleton, its basic structure, is so beautiful."
The new design packs more into a small space than most typefaces. It's a natural for publication and advertising design. With displays capable of revealing fine details such as Fanfare's subtly slanted baseline, its lovely forms will easily translate to mobile devices. With an extended European character set that includes Greek and Cyrillic language support, Wolpe Fanfare can speak in many languages.
