Günter Gerhard Lange (1921-2008)

Type designer, communicator and teacher, Günter Gerhard Lange passed away on 2 December 2008. Mr. Lange was a long-time friend of the club and was awarded the TDC Medal in 2000. His classic typeface designs include Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ, Berthold Bodoni Old Face BQ, and Imago BQ. He was an inspiration to many and will surely be missed.
