About Lucian Bernhard
Lucian Bernhard (1883–1972) was one of the twentieth century’s most influential and prolific graphic designers. Born in Germany and based in Berlin from 1901 through the mid-1920s, Bernhard spent his later decades in New York. Internationally recognized for his groundbreaking poster designs, he made his first mark in type with the release of Bernhard Antiqua in 1911. Over the following decades, he completed dozens of popular typefaces for the Flinsch and Bauer foundries in Germany, American Type Founders in the United States, and his own photomagnetic lettering service.
The ten specimens feature well-known typefaces such as Bernhard Antiqua (1911), Bernhard Fraktur (1912), Extrafette Bernhard Fraktur (1921), Extrafette Bernhard Antiqua (1924), Bernhard Schönschrift (1925), Extrafette Bernhard Kursiv (1927), Bernhard Handschrift (1928), Lucian (1928), Bernhard Fashion (1929), Bernhard Gothic (1929), and Bernhard Negro (1930).
