Nurnberg Schwabacher
Some words from Intellecta Design:
"I digitized and to revivalize NurnbergSchwabacher by the extinct Haas'sche Schriftgiesserei, a German/Swiss foundry established in 1790 and based in Basel/Münchenstein. Many of its shares were acquired by D. Stempel in 1927. In the Luc Devroye site this foundry is on the Extinct Foundries of the 18th century page. This design is very simmilar to another Intellecta best seller: Hostetler Fette Ultfraktur Ornamental, both researcheds in the classical type specimen book from Hostetler. The ornamental frame who completes the font is a fantastic barocke ornament wich I found in another old book, unaffortunally, lost now. Luc Devroye tell us about Rudolf Hostettler (your book is the source from any of my fonts): He was a swiss type designer. Author of "The Printer’s Terms", designed by Jan Tschichold. And of Technical Terms of the Printing Industry (5th edition was printed in 1995) and Type: eine Auswahl guter Drucktypen ; 80 Alphabete klassischer und moderner Schriften (Teufen, Ausser-Rhoden: Niggli, 1958). He also wrote "Type: A Selection of Types" (1949, fgm books, R. Hostettler, E. Kopley, H. Strehler Publ., St. Gallen and London) in which he highlights type made by European houses such as Haas, Enschedé, Deberny and Nebiolo. Jost Hochuli wrote his biography.
