Designed by Donald Handel with Robert Trogman for
FotoStar/Facsimile Fonts. Shown by Berthold with Facsimile Fonts
credits in two weights, Light and Regular [Berthold 1974]. The former is distinguished

Linotype’s and Elsner+Flake’s Handel Gothic EF have
three weights, all with the curved letterforms. URW’s is largely
identical, but adds Compressed and Shadow styles, as well as
Handel Slab. E+F additionally
