18 point Bernhard Modern (ATF# 668) for Letterpress Type for printing*

This seller has more type for sale. Check their OTHER ITEMS*

Seller's description:

"In 1937 several characters of Nernhard Booklet and Italic (q.v.) were redrawn by Lucian Bernhard, the original designer, at the request of ATF, and it was reissued as Bernhard Modern Roman and Italic. In 1938 Bernhard Modern Bold and Bold Italic were added, also drawn by Bernhard. They are lively and sparkling faces, precise but not mechanical. Since H and m, the characters with the series number stamped on the shoulder, were not redesigned, some fonts of Bernhard Modern Roman appear to have been preduced with the same series number (559) of the earlier Bernhard Booklet. "*

* Mac McGrew, "American Typefaces of the Twentieth Century", Second Revised Edition, p. 33.

NOTE: Harvested from the private collection of Dave Churchman, APA 308. You may have seen this font in the chaotic background of the letterpress documentary, "Pressing On".

Thanks!
Gretchen
