    Wiener Café Wirth was a café on Spitalerstraße, Hamburg. Established by Andreas Wirth in 1876, it had to close in January 2015, after 140 years in business. [Abendblatt]

    The script letterforms on the facade are modeled after either Charme or its slightly bolder sibling Slogan, both designed by Helmut Matheis in the mid 1950s.
