Weiss Schriften - "Weiss Family" - folder cover issued by Bauersche Giesserie, Frankfurt am Main, c1931
Of all the many wonderful German typefounders of the twentieth century I do like the works of the Bauer Type Foundry and this is the cover of a leaflet folder that contains three wonderful small periodicals from 1931 that detail the use of the company's many excellently designed printing types. The Weiss family of typefaces, named after the designer Emil Rudolf Weiß, was issued by Bauer in 1928 and was originally known as Weiß-Antiqua, with the italics as Weiß-Kursiv, being better known as Weiss Roman.
Sadly this was one of several items taken from my collection.
