Ehrhardt

WAS PRODUCED BY MONO-

TYPE IN THE LATE 1930s. IT IS BASED ON

Janson, a typeface from the end of the seventeenth century which was,
in fact, not cut by Janson, a Dutchman working in Leipzig, but by an
Hungarian, Nicholas Kis, in Amsterdam. It is called Ehrhardt because
the original types were in the Ehrhardt foundry in Leipzig in the early
eighteenth century. The original matrices survive and are now held by
Stempel, who acquired them in 1919 and Monotype’s face is a version
of these. It also offers a semi-bold and an italic.
