Digital versions include Kuenstler Script Black (Linotype/Adobe, non-joining like the metal original) and Kunstlerschreibschrift Bold (URW, joining). The former is accompanied by a lighter weight apparently derived from Bohn’s design, named Kuenstler Script Medium. Linotype expanded this lighter weight with Cyrillics.
