AKA Romanische Antiqua (with Rom. Kursiv). Includes Nr. 20 (1889) with Kursiv (1896), halbfett (1895) with (obliqued) Kursiv (1898), schmal halbfett (1897), breit mager with Kursiv (1898), a light Nr. 22 (1902), and schmal (1904). Some styles available with Cyrillics. Adopted for the Typograph. [Seemann] The halbfett is based on De Vinne. [Bertheau]

Romanisch Nr. 20 was also named Anker-Romanisch, probably to distinguish it from other similarly named faces (S&G’s logo shows an anchor). Comes with nested capital ligatures.

Tasso is an outlined version. Together with the halbfett, it forms the bichromatic set Tizian. [S&G: Antiqua-Schriften] The wood type poster equivalents were Noah, Neptun (schmal halbfett), Norium (outlined), with Nikodemus being a solid Cyrillic style. [S&G: Plakatschriften] Noah and Norium combines was named Nomen. [specimen] Alt-Romanisch, Borghese, and Ratisbona are spin-offs with novelty glyphs for some letters.

Numerous recuts, incl. one by Riegerl & Weißenborn in Leipzig (see Romana), who provided matrices to Böttger, Klinkhardt, Rühl, Theinhardt, and Amsterdam before 1900, and one by Berthold (Lateinisch, 1899). [Bertheau] These copies led to a lawsuit. In 1908, S&G complained about Enschedé’s copy Romein letter (series 57). [Dutch typefounders’ specimens]
