Hello.

Is there anyone who has information about Normunds Hartmanis, Lithuanian typograph?

I have just bought a book from the year 1957 about the swedish iron company LKAB. The typeface used in the headlines and on the cover of the book is made by Normunds Hartmanis.
(I dont have the name of the typeface.)

Is he a wellknown graphic designer?
Are there any books about his work?
Would it be possible to find examples of typefaces that he constructed?

Best regards
Magdalena, Sweden

Wow, what a nice name to type out.

Hate to say the obvious, but try Google. I did. There is enough there to get started but not much in English.
