LL Brown Sans Serif Font owes much to the groundbreaking work of both Edward Johnston and Arno Drescher, whose respective designs – Johnston Sans (1916), and Super Grotesk (1930) – are historically among the most influential geometric sans serifs. The Underground Electric Railways Company of London commissioned Johnston Sans, and after having been adopted as corporate typeface for all of London’s public transport in 1933, the typeface is still in use until today. Super Grotesk had initially been less successful, but it enjoyed considerable success in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) after the Second World War, eventually becoming one the most widely used typefaces in East Germany.
