Mommie was designed by Hubert Jocham and published by Hubert Jocham Type. Mommie contains 3 styles and family package options.  

In the early 1980s, at the start of my career, I had the opportunity to work in a print shop with classic lead setting. In those days I would study issues of U&lc magazine from ITC. What really caught my attention were scripts in the Spencerian style. I've been fascinated by this American penmanship tradition ever since.

A few years ago I developed a font. Boris Bencic used it when he was redesigning L'Officiel magazine in Paris. I took these initial forms and developed them into the font Mommie when I started my own foundry. Although I usually design text typefaces, working on Mommie taught me how complex it can be to create a script headline font. The biggest challenge in this process has been to keep it alive and fresh.

The Regular weight is only made for very big headlines. The thin lines with the bold drops are very elegant. For smaller sizes use the Medium and Small weight.

It won the TDC 2008 award and was Judges Choice of Christian Schwartz.
