Designed in 1913–14 [Rodenberg: In der Schmiede der Schrift] by Rudolf Koch and first cast by Klingspor in 1917. [Seemann, Reichardt] Named after Emperor Maximilian I. Comes with a set of decorated caps and swash alternates. Also known as Maximilian-Gotisch, as distinguished from Maximilian-Antiqua, which is a set of accompanying open Roman caps.

Digitized by Gerhard Helzel in 1994 in 2 sizes (36pt and 9pt, latter with simpler caps). DS-Maximilian (Delbanco) and LT Maximilian (Lindenthal, 1997) appear to be largely identical with Helzel’s version. There is also a crude freebie by Dieter Steffmann (2002), a loosely spaced Maximilian Gotisch by Walden Font, and the crude Gothicus by Stephen Miggas (Aerotype, 2006, incl. the open Roman caps). Alter Littera has announced a version, too. All listed versions except for Walden Font’s offer (some of) the swash alternates in an extra font.
