About Whimsical Musical Font Family


Whimsical Musical is a vivid, hand drawn font with 405 alternate letters, all caps. Developed from a lighthearted drawing in my sketchbook saying the German word “MUSIK” cheerfully over and over in twenty vivid variations. Next to it was the date “6th April 2007”. This initial idea has burst into a font that is full of surprises and whimsical turns. It is dynamically suggestive, like music, and humorously chaotic, as in Dada. Each uppercase letter is enriched with ten stylistic alternates (OpenType stylistic sets) to create a heap of playful variations amounting to a mountain of possibilities. Recommended for display usage: gonzo headlines, fantastical picturesque covers, extravagant quirky flyers, chichi posters, individual labels and fun logos.

About Harald Geisler

Harald Geisler Foundry is the creative atelier of typographic artist Harald Geisler, located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Geisler is renowned for his innovative and conceptual approach to typography, blending art, history, and personal storytelling to create unique typefaces that challenge the boundaries of conventional design.\n \n••••••Geisler’s work gained international recognition in 2010 with the release of the foundry’s first typeface, Ciseaux Matisse. This font was inspired by an exhibition of Henri Matisse’s technique of “drawing with scissors,” capturing the fluidity and movement of Matisse’s paper cut-outs.••••••One of Geisler’s most notable projects is the Sigmund Freud Typeface, developed in collaboration with the Freud Museum in London and the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna. This typeface meticulously transforms Freud’s handwritten letters into a digital font, offering users an intimate connection to the iconic psychoanalyst’s handwriting style.••••••Geisler’s Conspired Lovers typeface is another example of his unique approach to type design. Drawing inspiration from his own love letters, this font captures the emotional intensity and spontaneity of handwritten correspondence, making each character feel personal and heartfelt.••••••In 2013, Geisler embarked on an ambitious project to recreate Albert Einstein's handwriting digitally. He developed the Albert Einstein Font through a successful Kickstarter campaign, bringing the physicist’s distinctive penmanship into the digital age. The project, supported by over 2,500 backers, demonstrates Geisler’s ability to blend historical significance with contemporary digital tools.••••••Currently, Geisler is reviewing his font collection on display at MyFonts, continually refining and expanding his offerings. To stay updated on his latest developments, you can follow his work by signing up for his newsletter on his website: www.haraldgeisler.com, and www.handwriting.digital.••••••Geisler’s typefaces have been widely recognized and featured in international publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, Fast Company, Design Taxi, Novum, and Page. His commitment to innovative design and storytelling through typography continues to significantly impact the field, earning him a reputation as a leading typographic artist.
