A copy of Bauer’s Venus-Grotesk
[Shaw].
Originated at Bauer [Handwritten
note in Berthold specimen, via Reynolds].
First cast by Julius Klinkhardt in 1908 and later by Berthold who
had acquired the foundry in 1920. Reichardt lists nine styles,
incl. two condensed weights (added in 1918) and two italic styles. Seven styles (all but the
italics) are shown in
Klimschs Jahrbuch 1921/1922. In Dec. 1930,
Berthold registered two condensed weights, schmal halbfett and
schmal dreiviertelfett, with a note saying these were previously
known as “eng” [VdS].
The mager (regular) was also sold by Arndt/John as
Karten-Grotesk fein and by Genzsch & Heyse as
Titania-Grotesk. The dreiviertelfett is identical to
Atomic Gothic (Kobundo), Lorraine
(Triangle). Ideal-Grotesk umzogen was Klinkhardt’s
name for Comstock (Inland/Lanston Monotype)
[Reichardt 2011].
