Early in his career Handel worked for Saul Bass, for whom he developed the Handel Gothic typeface
font used by “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” and Pixar’s “Wall-E” among others. He was also known
for establishing his own new medium, Cloisonesque, whereby a metal plate is etched with acid and col-
ored resins applied by hand.
