Dann möchte ich noch mal erwähnen, dass mir die aktuelle "Same Bold Stories"-Ausstellung im #Klingspor Museum in #Offenbach ausgesprochen gut gefallen hat.
Sie läuft noch bis November! ➡️ https://www.offenbach.de/microsite/klingspor_museum/ausstellungen/content-ii.14-same-bold-stories.php
So funny that Deutsche Schrift https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/17604/deutsche-schrift, Koch’s archetypical German typeface, was called Oxford in England. It’s all about the #marketing. (This catalog by London type distributor Soldans Limited was published around 1937, on the eve of WWII.)

Released in 1910 with Gebr. Klingspor, Deutsche Schrift fett (extrabold) was Rudolf Koch’s first published typeface. Two lighter weights – mager (regular) and halbfett (bold) – as well as a schmal (condensed) and a peculiar schräg (oblique) were added later on. So was Deutsche Zierschrift, a related decorated cut. The generically named family (“German Type”, i.e. blackletter) also became known as Koch-Fraktur, or Kochschrift. Marketed abroad as Oxford. [M. Ashworth] There are a number of digitizations, including versions by Delbanco (mager, halbfett, titling, decorative caps), Peter Wiegel, Lamatas un Slazdi, and Alter Littera (fett each). The most complete version seems to be the one by Gerhard Helzel (mager and halbfett 10pt, halbfett and schräg 20pt, fett with swash caps, schmal).
