Surprising and diverse typography
By Berthold Wolpe, fused and reworked to create a unique aesthetic
while keeping the stature and rigour of the drawing – for a premiumised and sustainablebrand identity.
The Pegasus font, originally designed by Berthold Wolpe,
is full of surprises. The E and F both have oversized serifs.
The A and H have crossbars of very different thicknesses.
The K and g look a little unhinged and the g boasts a distinctive,
spiky loop. On close inspection,no two serifs in the uppercase letters are of the same shape.
Albertus was modelled to resemble letters engraved in bronze.
It was inspired by Roman characters. The name comes from Albertus Magnus, a 13th-century German philosopher. Albertus is the trademark font of The Hobbit movies, used in their posters and credits.
