About Weiss® Italic ...

Linotype usage sample for Weiss® Std Italic
Designer: Emil Rudolf Weiß, 1928
Weiss® Italic belongs to the Weiss® Font Family which is part of the Assorted Collection.
The German poet, painter, calligrapher and type designer Emil Rudolf Weiss originally created this eponymous typeface for the Bauer Foundry of Frankfurt. Long known and loved by metal type enthusiasts under the name "Weiss® Antiqua," this design was inspired by typefaces from the Italian Renaissance while still distinctly reflecting the artistic and poetic personality of its twentieth-century designer. Weiss has tall ascenders, sharp apex points, and a low-slung midsection on the caps. The italic moves like a classical ballerina. Weiss is one of the earliest contemporary serif types to have italics based on the chancery style of writing. The Weiss family works well for warmly legible text typography; and it's also an original choice for refined headline and display graphics.
