an empty .png place holder file typographic analysis of the reross 2

Reross revives the alphabet designs of Reinhold Rossig—a student of Bauhaus typographer Joost Schmidt (“Hidden”). Ninety years after Rossig drafted an alphabet, Elia Preuss, a German typographer, created a typeface out of it by combining Rossig’s letterforms with the poster work of Rossig’s peer Herman Werner Kubsch (Gould). The letterforms explore width and x-height, and resemble Schmidt’s work in their monolinear, geometric, sans-serif appearance, and construction using a compass and ruler (Faller).
