Capitals designed by Albert Anklam and cut in 1885. These were
acquired from Genzsch
& Heyse by DeVinne and used as reference in negotiations with
the Central Type Foundry in 1888/90, which led to the
De
Vinne types. Lowercase designed by Heinz König and cast by G&H in 1888
[Bertheau 1995]. Accompanied by
Römische Kursiv (1902) as well as halbfett,
schmalhalbfett and licht (open) styles. Klassische
Antiqua (1902) is a lighter weight.
The same design or adaptations/recuttings thereof were sold by
Farmer (as Bradford Old Style), Hansen (as
Crawford), Shanks (as Flemish Old Style),
Haddon (as Haddonian), Inland and Lanston Monotype (as
MacFarland), FTF (as Elzevir
Plantin). [Reichardt 2011]
