About the family


AG Book by Günter Gerhard Lange modified the original design concept of the classic Akzidenz-Grotesk family between 1969 and 1973, to position it more closely to the competing Helvetica family. Today this font family comes in 28 styles spanning three widths, all with support for Cyrillic and Greek for greater international utility. Small capitals offer nuanced typographical options in all but the italic Condensed and Extended styles.

About Berthold

The H. Berthold typefoundry, renowned for crafting high-quality typefaces, was founded in 1858 by Hermann Berthold in Berlin. By 1918 the foundry had become the largest in the world, with offices in Stuttgart, St. Petersburg, Leipzig, Riga, Budapest and Vienna. To complement its proprietary typesetting equipment business activities, Berthold developed high quality typefaces. The H. Berthold foundry’s most celebrated family of typefaces is arguably Akzidenz-Grotesk (released 1896), known as the mother of all sans serifs.The Premium foundry page can be viewed Here.
