GST (Georg Salden Types) was the label used by Georg
Salden from 1972 until the 1990s. Superseded by TypeManufactur.
The GST-Kreis (from 1979: Context-Gruppe) was a collaboration of
Salden with a group of phototypesetting studios, started in 1972

Staromat) and 6 text families (c. 50
styles, for Diatronic). [Michael
