What is the Das Riese font?
Das Riese, a type specimen by the most productive Brazilian type foundry, Intellecta Design, is a mix of victorian and art deco influences. A beautiful display type for tiling with uppercases only. It’s shadows and volumes refer to pre-modern age whereas its surface to last century 20’s. This heavy sans serif strokes characters have a particular appearance, a parallel line texture that reminds Bifur, typeface created in 1929 by A. M. Cassandre. The sideways absence of volume at some leaning letters right side in addition to the patchy darkness of shadows support its handmade design. A type full of historical references designed to small titles printed in big sizes. It’s impossible not to think about posters when you look at Das Riese strong face. – (source Slanted Magazine #8)
