ECKMANN, Otto
(b. 1865, Hamburg, d. 1902, Badenweiler)

Cover of Die Woche

Lithograph
Münchner Stadtbibliothek, Munich

The masthead of Die Woche (German for "This Week") and other types used on the magazine's cover appears to be a prototype of Eckmann Schrift. Eckmann designed the Eckmann typeface and the most beautiful of the Jugendstil numbers, the seven (1899), for the weekly paper of the same name, which appeared every seven days.
