ITC Werkstatt是Alphabet Soup公司的Paul Crome和Satwinder Sehmi以及Elene Strizver和Colin Brignall共同智慧的結晶。其靈感來自於Rudolph Koch的作品，Rudolph Koch是本世紀前三分之一時期著名的德國書法傢、雕刻師以及字體設計師，它並沒有直接基於Koch的任何字體。Werkstatt與科赫廣受歡迎的Neuland的厚重木刻造型有著明顯的相似之處，但也與Wallau這樣的顯示字體有明顯的相似之處。Brignall一開始是以55mm的大寫字母高度繪制瞭正式字母，Sehmi使用帶有寬邊筆尖的鋼筆重新詮釋瞭這些字母。“這不是一個簡單的過程，” Brignall說，“因為Koch風格的特點之一是，盡管它具有書法風格，但大多數時候他的字懷形狀與外部形狀沒有任何相似之處，就像正常書法那樣。這意味著Sehmi無法一次完成一張套字符，而必須分別創建外部和內部形狀，然後在字母的中間填入墨水。”這個過程重復瞭一遍，隻是沒有完全填滿雕刻版的輪廓。Crome進行瞭掃描和數字化，在創建可用的數字輪廓的同時保持瞭手工制作的感覺。“擁有特殊技能的工匠的協作，” Brignall說，“在現代的計算機輔助工作室環境中，這似乎與Rudolph Koch大力提倡的‘工作室’精神非常吻合。”
ITC Werkstatt is a result of the combined talents of Alphabet Soup’s Paul Crome and Satwinder Sehmi, along with Ilene Strizver and Colin Brignall. It is inspired by the work of Rudolph Koch, the renowned German calligrapher, punchcutter, and type designer of the first third of this century, without being based directly on any of Koch’s typefaces. Werkstatt has obvious affinities with the heavy, woodcut look of Koch’s popular Neuland, but also with display faces like Wallau and even the light, delicate Koch Antiqua. Brignall began by drawing formal letters with a 55mm cap height, which Sehmi reinterpreted using a pen with a broad-edge nib. “Not an easy process,” says Brignall, “since one of the features of Koch’s style is that while it was calligraphic in spirit, most of the time his counter shapes did not bear any resemblance to the external shapes, as they would in normal calligraphy. This meant that Sehmi could not complete a whole character in one go, but had to create the outside and inside shapes separately and then ink in the center of the letters.” The process was repeated, only without entirely filling in the outlines, for the Engraved version. Crome handled the scanning and digitization, maintaining the hand-made feel while creating usable digital outlines. “The collaboration of artisans with particular skills,” says Brignall, “in a modern-day, computer-aided studio environment, seems very much in step with the ‘workshop’ ethos that Rudolph Koch encouraged and promoted so much.”
