Sold by many foundries, under different names. Registered by Berthold in 1895 as Regina-Kursiv, or Regina-Cursiv [Reichsanzeiger] – not to be confused with Stempel’s unrelated design of the same name (1906) – and claimed it as original design. [1909 specimen] Comes with many alternate glyphs. Also in Cyrillic. [Reichsanzeiger] Accompanied by a lighter style, Hansa-Kursiv (Berthold, 1895).

Regina-Kursiv and Hansa-Kursiv were sold by AG für Schriftgießerei, B. Krebs, Blackfriars, Lettergieterij Amsterdam, Pavyers & Bullens, Stevens Shanks, Lehmann, Gutenberg, Orgelbranda. Aliases include Favorita and Favorita fett (Haas), Favorita and Mercurio (Società Augusta), La Madrileña and La Nacional (Gans, before 1903), Pittoresques penchées and Provençales (Fonderie Turlot/FTF). [Reichardt 2011] Marr showed Regina together with the upright Victoria (Marr) in c. 1896. [Gray 1976]

Phototype adaptations as Regina Cursiv(e) [PLINC 1965] and Regina (with the upright Victoria). [Face c. 1981] Shown in Dan X. Solo’s Bold Script Alphabets as Hansa Cursive Bold.

Digitized as Regina Cursiv (HiH, 2007, used for the sample). It includes a few of the many alternates, but they are not provided via OpenType features. Toffee Script (Suomi, 2010) is another, looser interpretation. Koëlh (Yanick Blancho, 2015) is based on a showing of Pittoresques penchées (actually the bold Provençales) from 1924 [Blancho]. Regina Kursiv by Gophmann A.L. (2008, incl. Cyrillics) is a digitization of the lighter style, see Hansa-Kursiv. Carlsbad (RMU, 2018) has both styles with alternates.
