Phillipp Luidl – Die Schwabacher

Like every typeface, the Schwabacher has its history. The well-known typographer Philipp Luidl tells it with many pictorial examples, right up to the day when Hitler banned the Schwabacher Judenletter.

Philipp Luidl was a lecturer in typography at the Akademie für das Grafische Gewerbe in Munich and a board member of the Typografische Gesellschaft.
