Modeled after a textura by Caslon [1925

in AR] First cast in 1899 [Reichardt 2011] [Wetzig
in AR] or 1900 [Schriftenkartei 1958–1971]. Details are

Berthold had a phototype version [Berthold 1982].
Reber

[post-1987 catalog] (not to be confused with their other

There is a digitization by Gerhard Helzel (as

Gotico Black (GroupType, 1995) is based on the same source, too. Lindenthal’s digital Manuskript-Gotisch is different and might be based on a different size.
