The Organisations-Gesellschaft Braune KG marketed office furniture (e.g. swivel chairs) and fixtures. Under their brand “Braune’s Schnellbuchhaltung”, they offered devices to speed up accounting, including clipboards and bookkeeping machines.

 

The name is rendered in bold upright Kurrentschrift letterforms. Among typefaces, Deutsche Kraft (1915) comes closest.

 

Braune KG was established in 1907 in Bremen, Germany, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1957. It’s not clear if the company still exists. In 2011, Braune KG was run by Hans F. Kahlke. Their website disappeared sometime after 2011.
