Hans Reichel (1949–2011) was a musician, instrument builder, graphic designer and type designer. Designers and typographers know him as the creator of the popular Barmeno and the world-renowned FF Dax family. For more than 30 years he’d made a name for himself as an accomplished acoustic and electric guitar player. He was also the inventor of the Daxophone, an instrument where thin strips of wood are played with a bow to mimic animal sounds and human voices.
