Never used in the Netherlands due to the different depth of matrices. Digitally revived by David Esser as graduation project at Type and Media in 2003 (unreleased) [Middendorp 2004] and, commercially, by David Berlow in 2009. The latter was available from Font Bureau, in Roman and Italic, each with small caps. Appears to be unavailable as of 2025.
