Zum Aussuchen

Two peculiarities of German lettering, spotted on a box with pulp mags:

1. Hook (or bar) on u to distinguish the letter from n

2. Two forms for s. The long one (ſ) is the default, the short (or round) one is used only in final position of graphemes – it’s aus·suchen (“pick out”).

 

Both have fallen out of fashion around the 1950s.
