Neva Zidic Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Trying to identify this Egyptian typeface from either second half of 19th or very beginning of 20th century for a revival project for my studies. Consulted some Dutch and German typefaces (specimens from Genzsch & Heyse, Amsterdam Type Foundry, International Index of metal typefaces, Handbuch der Schriften, etc) and found no match so far. Attached scan is from the book ( publisher: Schreuders Amsterdam, title: Mijn herinneringen aan de omwenteling van 1848"). The typeface has a single storey /g, /ij ligature, short descenders. Lowercase /t has no connection between the top of the stem and the bar. Long tail on /a and /t, /E has no serif on middle bar. Condensed in proportions. Book was printed in Hilversum by Nonhebel & Co/ De Mercuur printing house.
