A sample of Burgert Animata, a photographic typeface by the German calligrapher Hans-Joachim Burgert, shown here in Jakob Rask Arnesen’s Levende Skrift. An english translation of Rask-Arnesen’s captions reads:
“Burgert Animata, handwritten photographic typeface, used in Romanzen von Mauren und Christen und einem langen Krieg, 1979. The alphabet is reproduced in negative as it is on the photographic film, which is intended for transparencies. The baseline is indicated, but the spacing is measured by eye and is much tighter on the page than shown here on the alphabet film.”Rask-Arnesen, 1987, p. 191.
