Schrift Xylo : Schriftgießerei Benjamin Krebs Nachfolger, Frankfurt a. M. : specimen in : Gebrauchsgraphik : Jahrg. 1 - Heft Nr. 9 : Deutsche Schriftgiesser : Edit : Dr. H.K. Frenzel : Phönix Druck und Verlags G.M.B.H. : Berlin SW68 : Deutschland : 1925

From the special issue of Gebrauchsgraphik on German Typefounders in 1925 comes this colourful specimen sheet set in the Xylo typeface issued by Schriftgießerei Benjamin Krebs Nachfolger. Sadly no designer is shown for this eye catching design showing "Mampe Likore"; none genuine without this trademark. The Berlin company of Mampe, still in existance, appear to have started to use the elephant as their trademark in the 1920s.
