Founded in 1927 by Rudolf Koch, Kabel was and continues to be a popular typeface with international recognition. Rudolf Koch was born in 1876 in Germany, where he worked as a type designer, typographer, calligrapher, and teacher until his death in 1934. The name, "Kabel" celebrates the first trans-Atlantic telephone cable. Its construction was influenced by ancient roman letters and geometric shapes, but brings a unique human quality, which attracts viewers. Kabel, is most recognized by its angular stroke endings, which are prominent in letters "e" and "g." Linotype categorizes Kabel as a circle, sans serif typeface, which they claim are best used to "represent sleek movement, dynamism, or the future."
