Allegro

Shown by Ludwig & Mayer as a display companion to Die Schlanke. Cut with two forms for ‘K’. [VdS] In a revised (export?) version, ‘r’ has no exit stroke, ‘H’ and ‘I’ follow the roman construction, ‘T’ curves to the right, and ‘7’ lost its ball terminal and crossbar. [JBJ] [Soldans Ltd specimen]

Bitstream’s digitization is based on the revised version. ‘A’ is less inclined. Eszett (ß) got a blander, non-descending form, and ampersand (&) was redrawn. No ligatures for ‘ch’ and ‘ck’.
