Fraktur fonts by Rudolf Koch

Rudolf Koch (1876-11-20 - 1934-04-09) was a leading German calligrapher, typographic artist and teacher, born in Nuremberg. He was primarily a calligrapher with the Gebr. Klingspor foundry. He created several typefaces, both in fraktur and roman styles. Fritz Kredel studied under Koch at the Offenbach School of Design.

Koch wrote a book comprised of 493 old-world symbols, monograms and runes entitled The Book of Signs (which was reprinted in 1955 by Dover Publications, INC. and which belongs to the Dover Pictorial Archive Series). He had also a column in the magazine Die zeitgemäße Schrift, a magazine of design published by Heintze & Blanckertz.
