A revival of Nobel
by S.H. de Roos (Lettergieterij Amsterdam, 1929), started in 1990
and first released in 1993 with DTL, who had acquired the rights
from Tetterode [Dutch Type], in three weights, two of
them with italics, plus two condensed weights. Andrea Fuchs and
Fred Smeijers also digitized the Open (i.e. inline) and Schaduw
caps, as well as dotted and reverse dotted display caps and a set
of geometric ornaments, but these remained unreleased. As of 2016,
the published series spans four weights with italics, plus three
condensed weights (upright only). Among other things, DTL
Nobel is distinguished by the pointed apexes in ‘AMNVW’
across all styles.
