Issued by Berthold/Bauer & Co. in 1898 as Artistic, with alternates for ‘AFHKMNRTUWs’ and ligatures for ‘PP’, ‘ST’, 'TH’, ‘ch’. Registered by Berthold in Nov. 1898. [Reichsanzeiger]
Added to Letraset’s Letragraphica range in 1977 [Letragraphica sheet] [1978 ad] [Modern Publicity].
Digitized as Cg Artistik (Compugraphic) and Artistix (Dixie’s Delights, 1994). Karavan Display SSi (Southern Software, Inc., 1993) is largely identical to the former. So is Artistik (Monotype). Like the Compugraphic version, it contains most of the original alternates (and the erroneous ‘æ’ glyph).
