Scribner, named for the 19th-century magazine, was designed by Gustav F. Schroeder in 1883. <br /><br />He was a German immigrant recruited at age 20 in 1881 by Carl Schraubstadter, a Central TF partner, when visiting his own homeland.<br /><br />Although Schroeder's experience so far was in cutting mundane dies, he was a "fast learner" and turned out to be one of the most brilliant late-19th century type designers.<br /><br />Cheers, Anna<br /><br />P.S.

I like the Italian Oldstyle too. And the Worrell Unical is really cool too. Geez, how can you pick?Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.com
