Grobe Leibniz-Fraktur from Schriftgießerei Genzsch & Heyse, Hamburg

The punches for the types are cut around 1680 and where together with the matrices purchased by Genzsch & Heyse in 1838 from Lampesche Schriftgießerei, Hamburg. The face is only cut and cast in 14 & 16 pkt. – both sizes are represented in my collection and ready to be used with care in a contemporary context.
