P. van Dijk / Schriftguss typeface product list
Active in Amsterdam in the 1920s–50s (and maybe later), P. van Dijk was a supplier of printing machines and materials, including typefaces. In the Tholenaar Collection at Letterform Archive are several leaflets and booklets from the company advertising type from the Dresden-based foundry Schriftguss.
This 1934 price list shows 16 type families alongside their sizes, weight, and prices. The title in Appell reads “De mooiste letersoorten voor Handels- en Reclamewerk van Schriftguss” (The most beautiful typefaces for commercial and advertising work from Schriftguss). For the company name at the top, one of Schriftguss’s typefaces, the Intermezzo, a novel display face with each letter segmented into two parts, is set in two colors, with a line of Super-Grotesk through the center.
See the complete trifold leaflet in Letterform’s Online Archive.
