Gerard Unger, 1942-2018

Simon Cozens

For those who have not heard, Gerry Leonidas posted the news on Twitter that Gerard Unger has passed away. A great loss to the world of type design.

Kent Lew

That is shocking news. I’m not on Twitter, so I don’t always hear such things in a timely fashion. Thanks for posting.

He will be missed.

Craig Eliason

Among the most gracious people I've had the pleasure to meet. Condolences to those who feel his loss most strongly.

Chris Lozos

His many students throughout the years will surely miss him.

James Puckett

I only knew Unger through his books. Which are excellent, and will guide new generations of designers for decades to come. 

Andreas Stötzner

I had one or two times the opportunity to meet him. A true gentleman of type, and very humorous. May he rest in peace and be always remembered.

André Simard

Too young to leave…
