The Shop Hat V.2 - Brown
Made in Vietnam, Chainstitch embroidered in Los Angeles
This “LA” insignia is made using a typeface by Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf (digitally recreated in 2003). Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf (1719–1794) was a pivotal figure in the history of music publishing and typography. A German printer and publisher based in Leipzig, he was known for innovations that advanced the quality and efficiency of music printing. Breitkopf refined a method of using movable type to print musical scores, which allowed for clearer, more precise notation compared to earlier engraving methods.
He was the son of Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf, founder of the publishing house Breitkopf & Härtel, which became one of the most prestigious music publishing companies in Europe. The firm worked with renowned composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn, contributing significantly to the dissemination of their works. Breitkopf's influence extended beyond music to the broader field of typography, where his techniques also improved the clarity and aesthetic of printed texts.
