Neue Mediäval – Graphische Künste (1913) (2024)

The Neue Mediäval is a contemporary revision of the Hölzl Mediäval from 1913. The Neue Mediäval originates from the typeface Hölzl Mediäval, designed by Emil Hölzl in 1913. The aim of this project was to revive his type design and make it usable in a contemporary context, while preserving its original identity. Emil Hölzl developed a typeface that was considered rather unusual at the beginning of the 20th century. Hölzl looked back to medieval design principles and attempted to transfer them into the Gothic context of his time. Just as Emil Hölzl once did, the resulting typeface Neue Mediäval attempts to translate past ideas into the present.
