An italic sans serif distinguished by long descenders, a tailed ‘a’, and a spurless ‘b’. Available in the 1920s under generic names like Kursiv-Grotesk or Kursiv-Grotesk halbfett (Schelter & Giesecke, Stempel, AG für Schriftgießerei), Grotesk-Kursiv (Bauer), and Kursiv-Steinschrift (Klingspor). Seemann’s Handbuch der Schriftarten mentions “Jaxberg [sic] Rust, Offenbach 1840” as the source. According to Friedrich Bauer’s chronicle of German foundries, Juxberg-Rust was established only in 1857, after Rust had acquired the matrices cut by Johann Christian Bauer.
