Augsburger
Some words from Proportional Lime:
This typeface was inspired strongly by one of Ernhardt Ratdolt’s (1442-?1528) many beautiful typefaces.
Mr. Ratdolt was a printer from the city of Augsburg, who had also worked for several years as a printer in Venice. He made many advances in printing technique and technology; including the decorated title page. Early books, have a mysterious rhythm to the appearance of the text, due to small variances in letters caused by casting irregularities and ink transfer from the press.
This very supposed defect is a pleasing effect against the sterile regularity of modern printing technology, which is presented in this typeface.
