Deutsche Schrift FONT Download
Designer: José Alberto Mauricio
Publisher: Alter Littera
A comprehensive and faithful rendition of Rudolf Koch’s first release, usually referred to as “Fette
Deutsche Schrift” or "Koch-Schrift". In addition to the regular character set, the font includes a large number of alternates and ligatures, plus two sets of ornamental initials (Initialen mit Zierstrichen und Punkten zur Koch-Schrift, and Initialen zur halbfetten deutschen Schrift von Rudolf Koch).
The main sources used during the font design process were a sample page from Hendlmeier, W. (1994), Kunstwerke der Schrift, Hannover: Bund für
Deutsche Schrift und Sprache (p. 164), and several specimen sheets from the Gebrüder Klingspor Type Foundry for Koch’s “
Deutsche Schrift” type family.
Specimen, detailed character map, OpenType features, and font samples available at Alter Littera’s The Oldtype “
Deutsche Schrift” Font Page.
