A revival of Nobel
by S.H. de Roos (Lettergieterij Amsterdam, 1929), started in 1990
and first released in 1993 with DTL, who had acquired the rights
from Tetterode [Dutch Type], in 3 weights, 2 of them
with italics, plus 2 condensed weights. Andrea Fuchs and Fred
Smeijers also digitized the Open (i.e. inline) and Schaduw caps, as
well as dotted and reverse dotted display caps and a set of
geometric ornaments, but these remained unreleased. As of 2016, the
published series spans 4 weights
with italics, plus 3 condensed weights (upright only). Among other
things, DTL Nobel is distinguished by the pointed
apexes in ‘AMNVW’ across all styles.
