Real lead letterpress type, printed, scanned and turned into a digital font.

Letterpress Akzidenz is a dusty, decades-old type found in a type drawer labelled “48 pt ultra condensed.” I pulled a single print—black ink on off-white paper—on my flatbed proofing press. This test print was scanned at 1200 dpi (Display) and then again at 300 dpi (Regular) to make a display face with tons of character as well as a simpler face for use at smaller sizes.

Two faces included: Display & Regular
Full upper case letter set with two versions of most letters; limited character set.
