Find a delicious essay by @typeoff in the @ATypI goodie bag 🥰

@fadebiaye @ATypI Thanks! Alas, I am not coming to ATypI this year.

[Dan Reynolds @typeoff]

@Matty_NJ @2AvSagas Indeed! Almost all of the letters were tinkered with over time.

125 years ago today – at exactly 12:05 in the afternoon, Berlin time – H. Berthold AG filed prints of 13 sizes of Akzidenz-Grotesk’s regular weight with the Berlin Muster-Register. That means that it is the typeface’s “birthday” right now. https://t.co/icKy4fjeAF

[Marcel Ruhl @marcelruhl]

@typeoff We are pleased to have these holdings in our archive @Technikmuseum_B and that we can make a contribution to research by making them accessible. For the #Akzidenz-Grotesk we refer to these files.

[Dan Reynolds @typeoff]

And remember: You can visit the museum and see all of these items (and more!) yourself. In fact, I recommend it.

[Dan Reynolds @typeoff]

Thanks to the Historical Archive at the Deutsches Technikmuseum, several internal Berthold documents related to Akzidenz-Grotesk are now available to the public. All roads point to Stuttgart. Akzidenz-Grotesk’s design came to Berthold from Bauer & Co.; Berthold then expanded it.

[Marcel Ruhl @marcelruhl]

Ein laufendes #Erschließungsprojekt im @Technikmuseum_B erfasst Akten aus der Berthold AG und macht diese der Forschung zugänglich. Es finden sich Listen mit Schriftnummern die uns auch bei der Arbeit im Depot helfen: https://t.co/YD2IuXiX68 #typography #berthold #archive

Schneekönigin is a really excellent typeface.

@w__h_ I am not not aware of any 😭

About 100 years ago, there were two methods by which brass-type fonts for bookbinders were industrially manufactured in Germany. I found a detailed description for one method (sandcasting) and translated it for you over on my website.

The German squad is flaming out of the tournament because its players suck and there is no kind of sensible organization or planning behind them. Instead, foreigners have to be blamed for stealing the team’s chances 🤦‍♂️
