A.k.a. Nobel-Antieke. An adaptation of Berthold-Grotesk, revised to bring it more in line with Futura [Lane & Lommen]. Released in c. 1929–1932 in three weights, the two lighter ones with small caps and italics, plus two condensed upright weights, a set of open caps (Open Nobel Kapitalen) [Reichardt 2011] and shadow caps (Schaduw Nobel Kapitalen, identical with Umbra?) [Lane & Lommen]. Alternates with pointed apexes for ‘AMNVW’ were available on request [Amsterdam specimen]. Sold in France as Noble [Societé Garamond specimen]. Adapted for the Intertype linecasting machine, for poster woodtype, and for headline phototype systems [DTL].

Digitally revived as DTL Nobel (Dutch Type Library, 1993) and FB Nobel (Font Bureau, 1993; used for the sample).
