Joseph Kaspar Sattler (20 July 1867, Schrobenhausen - 12 May 1931, Munich) was a German painter, bookplate artist and Art Nouveau illustrator. He is best remembered for his work that appeared in the magazine Pan.[1]
Three years later, he designed the "Nibelungenschrift" (a type font).,[3] which was used for his monumental work "Die Nibelungen", displayed at the Exposition Universelle (1900). Only 200 copies were ever printed. He also devised a familiar Art Nouveau font that is named after him.[4] He returned to Strasbourg in 1904 and was appointed a Professor at the École in 1917.[1] After the war, he moved to Munich where he lived with his sister and studied lithography.[2] In addition to Pan (one of his posters was published in Les Maîtres de l'Affiche), many of his illustrations appeared in Simplicissimus.
