Since 1991, the cities of Luxembourg, Metz, Saarbrücken and Trier have awarded the Robert Schuman Art Prize. Each city appoints an expert to select four visual artists. Jérome Knebusch, for the 2009 edition, chose the Stockmar typeface, designed by Matthieu Cortat.

The bilingual publication uses the roman cut for French texts and an almost upright italic cut for the German parts. Another more inclined cut is employed for inline emphasis, among other places. The cover features yet another cursive variety with swash caps. Stockmar was originally conceived with three different italics. The revised version available from 205TF is easier to use and has only one italic.
