ehrhardt: 3 of 20

Ehrhardt was produced by the Monotype staff, 1937–1938. Adapted from the designs of Kis, and named for the Ehrhardt foundry in Leipzig. Gets short shrift in contemporary literature on typography, but sees deservedly frequent use. See Harry Carter’s article in the Appendix of A Tally of Types; see also D.B. Updike’s Printing Types: Their History, Forms, and Use, vol 2, pp 43 and 45 for Ehrhardt foundry specimens c. 1739.
