Designed by Hermann Zehnpfundt and first cast by Gursch in 1910 in two weights, mager and halbfett. In 1913, two more weights (zart, fett) and the vertically hatched Industria Zephyr were added. After Gursch was acquired by Berthold in 1917, an inline Gravur (1920) and a fifth weight, schwer (1922) were added. The latter has alternates for ‘AEFH’ with diamond/triangle-shaped bars. Jezynskiego had the halbfett and schwer as Limba. [Reichardt] See also Ronsard by Warnery.
