From the foundry
Platten is based on lettering found in German fountain pen practice books from the 1920s This round tip pen lettering is comparable to the basic forms used in grammar school teaching alphabets, but with a few original characteristics. The Italic version has even more of these unusual features. Geometric & simple yet casual & timeless.
