Specimen Book, with a Distinctive ‘Crotchless’ Treatment for Where the Stems Met the Bowls in the Lowercase

As part of his redesign of Fast Company, Florian Bachleda needed a condensed sans to complement the new general-purpose sans and slab families. Together, Florian and Christian Schwartz found a stripped down, flat-sided condensed sans in a German specimen book, with a distinctive ‘crotchless’ treatment for where the stems met the bowls in the lowercase.

This family, called Vertikal and likely cut in the late 1920s, seemed to have some potential, but a quick digitization of a handful of characters showed that it was a little too dry and boring in layouts.

Florian and his design staff had come across the condensed styles of Paul Renner’s Plak, and asked if Christian and his design staff at Commercial Type might be able to synthesize a new condensed sans that had the distinctive traits of Vertikal, with no contrast and flat connections on the arches and bowls in characters like h m n r & a b d p q g; synthesized with the roundness & wandering uppercase crossbar heights of Plak.

The Commercial Type designers figured out how to make this marriage of styles work, then expanded the family out to a full range of weights in 3 progressively narrower widths. In the heaviest weights, the family ended up with a taste of the future as predicted in the 1970s. Schwartzco kommissar condensed about vllg.com

Florian Schneider & Ralf Hütter met as students at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf in the late 1960s, participating in the German experimental music and art scene of the time, which the British music press dubbed ‘krautrock’. The duo had originally performed together in a quintet known as Organisation. This ensemble released one album, Tone Float, issued on RCA Records in the UK, but unfortunately the group decided to split shortly thereafter.

Early Kraftwerk line-ups from 1970–74 fluctuated, as they worked with around a half-dozen other musicians over the course of recording three albums and sporadic live appearances; most notably Michael Rother & Klaus Dinger, who left to form Neu! With Ralf und Florian, released in ’73, Kraftwerk began to move closer to its classic sound, relying more heavily on synthesizers and drum machines. Although almost entirely instrumental, the album marks Kraftwerk’s first use of the vocoder, which would in time become one of its musical signatures.

The input, expertise, and influence of producer and engineer Konrad ‘Conny’ Plank was highly significant in the early years of Kraftwerk & Plank also worked with many of the other leading German electronic acts of the period, including members of Can, Neu!, Cluster and Harmonia. In 1976, Kraftwerk went out on tour in support of the Radio-Activity album. Enthused by the album, British singer David Bowie had invited the band to support him on his Station to Station tour but they declined. Despite some innovations in touring, Kraftwerk took a break from live performances after the Radio-Activity tour of 1976. Schwartzco kommissar condensed Features vllg.com
