<p>Just like Fanfare and similar hybrid typefaces, Honda is a good choice when you want to <a href="http://fontsinuse.com/uses/36824/selling-hitler-by-robert-harris-pantheon-book">channel some of the qualities associated with blacklette</a>r – here: traditional, rustic, crafted, German – without going full fraktur, bypassing ornate capitals, an <strong>ſ</strong> (long s) and other legibility hurdles. Honda was designed by Ronné Bonder and Tom Carnase, probably inspired by typefaces like Rudolf Koch’s <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/typefaces/31509/wallau" data-entity-code-id="31509" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Wallau</a> (1930) or Louis Oppenheim’s <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/typefaces/8075/fanfare" data-entity-code-id="8075" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Fanfare</a> (1927).

This interpretation of early Gothic writing styles was made as part of Linotype’s “Type before Gutenberg” program in 1990. It’s the only published typeface design by calligrapher Herbert Maring (1923–2012). “Hell” (lit. bright, i.e. lager beer) is in a beefed up rendition of Hermann Zapf’s <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/typefaces/3356/medici-script" data-entity-code-id="3356" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Medici Script</a></strong>, a precursor to his <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/typefaces/1966/itc-zapf-chancery" data-entity-code-id="1966" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">ITC Zapf Chancery</a>.<br />
<br />
The fact that the beer is named Chiemseer and that the label shows the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiemsee">Chiemsee lake</a> led to a lawsuit. It was objected that the brewery is in fact not located on the Chiemsee.</p><br/><a href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/uses/29656/chiemseer-beer"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/101/100600/upto-700xauto/69b54bc7/28261045329_619e76d874_o_d.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rosemarienitribit/28261045329/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.flickr.com</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Leopardtronics</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><br/><p><span><span>Since June 2016, the beer comes with new labels.</span> <span>The name Chiemseer remained, but is now accompanied by a new image, a prominent disclosure “Gebraut in Rosenheim am Inn” (in <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/typefaces/8095/droid-serif" data-entity-code-id="8095" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Droid Serif</a></strong>), and a pointer to see the reverse, which shows a map </span><span>indicating the location of Rosenheim (about 25<span class="nbsp">&nbsp;</span>km west of the lake).</span></span></p><br/><a href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/uses/29656/chiemseer-beer"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/127/126815/upto-700xauto/69b56344/21111834771_400f4c0504_o.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/frankrolf/21111834771/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.flickr.com</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Uploaded to Flickr by Frank Grießhammer and tagged with “itchonda”</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license"><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CC BY-NC-SA</a></span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><br/><p>Crate from 2014, with the brewery’s name in <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://www.fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4291/minion" data-entity-code-id="4291" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Minion</a> Black</strong>.
