A display of WWI sketches by German soldier and renowned typographer Rudolf Koch will conclude with a talk from a historian who works at the museum from which his artwork is on loan.
On Thursday, Dorothee Ader of the Klingspor Museum Oftenbach, Germany, will give a lecture about the value of Koch’s work and the importance of his typefaces for the Klingspor brothers’ type foundry.
Among Koch’s designs for the foundry were: Jessen, Kabel + Light Italic + Bold, Neuland + Inline, and Zeppelin.
Ader’s speech on May 24 starts at 7 p.m. at the Port Moody Station Museum (2734 Murray St.) and ends the exhibit of Koch’s artwork, which were shown for the first time in North America.
Ader will also talk about Koch’s Little Book of Flowers, which he produced with Fritz Kredel to illustrate flora.
