First cast in 1928 [Stempel-Kartei], registered in 1930 [VdS],
but not included in Klimschs Schriftenchronik
1927–1930, and hence probably released only in 1932
[Ulrich].
The first batch included leicht, mager, halbfett, and fett
weights (1928–29, adopted for the Linotype in 1930–32), with
schmalhalbfett and schmalfett styles added in 1939, all designed by
Wilhelm Pischner. Italics were added to mager (1953) and leicht
(1955, by Arthur Ritzel). Sold by Vanderborght as Antiques
modernes and by Caslon as Le Monde. [Reichardt]
Also known as Stempel Grotesk and Stempel
Sans. Comes with alternates for ‘a’ and ‘u’.
