Under the guidance of Albert-Jan Pool and Professor André Heers, Jakob Runge started designing the typeface that would ultimately become FF Franziska as part of his studies at Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel. The robust text face performs well in body text, while its more extreme weights do the work of setting headlines. Details such as its short descenders accommodate tighter linespacing, producing denser paragraphs and better stacked subheads. The modestly sloped italic draws influence from handwritten forms, and lightens the tone on the page. All typographic niceties are included, such as small caps, multiple figure sets, fractions, and a range of arrows and icons.
