Maxima Now
Prof. Gert Wunderlich, the well known German typographer and book designer, has extended his typeface Maxima (1962 – 1989) to become a comprehensive font family.
The sans serif font family Maxima was the most popular typeface in East Germany until the unification of Germany in 1989 . Its success started in 1962 as a hot metal version, which was digitized in 1979 for various phototypesetters and the Digitset CRT typesetter. The first weights of Maxima were introduced to the Western desktop publishing world in 1985. All the original versions had been made available in digital form by 1989, which included Greek, Cyrillic and Vietnamese. Now Wunderlich has commissioned Elsner+Flake to update and extend the family to prepare it for the 21st century.
