Font Designer – Johannes Wagner Foundry
In 1971, some of the typefaces from the C. E. Weber foundry in Stuttgart were acquired, and in 1978, the H. Berthold AG typefaces were added. Type founding came to a halt in 1999, and the company’s materials were donated to the “Stiftung Werkstattmuseum für Druckkunst” in Leipzig.
Fonts: Aurora-Grotesk (1912), Steinschrift (1912), Fette Antiqua (1913), Druckhaus-Antiqua (1919), Romana (1930) and Neue Aurora Grotesk (1964).
