Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk

Classifications: Sans Serif, Small Caps & Old Style Figures
Designer: Berthold Staff

Issued by Berthold in 1896, Akzidenz Grotesk is the forerunner of Helvetica. The name is derived from the nineteenth-century word for sans serif, Grotesk, and from the German name for types used by trade printers, Akzidenz schrift. Akzidenz Grotesk is well-suited to technical literature, tables, and magazine and newspaper headlines. The light weight includes a set of old style (nonlining) numerals designed by Erik Spiekermann for Berthold's business cards. The condensed versions of Akzidenz Grotesk are useful for tables, spreadsheets, and other applications where space is at a premium.

Berthold Baskerville

Classification: Transitional
Designer: Berthold Staff

The Baskerville types were created by John Baskerville, a typefounder and printer in late eighteenth-century England, and introduced in Birmingham, England, in 1752. Baskerville's types are classified as transitionals, that is, those that are stylistically between old style and modern designs. Because of their high readability, Baskerville's designs were produced by all of the major typefoundries and have become a standard typeface for long texts, especially book work, and for display purposes as well. The Berthold foundry released their own Baskerville in 1961, with additional weights and italics to follow through the years until 1972. Characteristic of Berthold Baskerville is its ample letterforms and impeccable readability.
