German journal from 1908 (Archiv für Urkundenforschung)

Featured Replies

Hi, the German journal "Archiv für Urkundenforschung" (here the 1908 issue) uses this very particular font. I tried some of the various online tools, but they all failed. Especially the upper-case letters look peculiar.

I am just asking out of curiosity, so the name of the font is enough for me. Thank you!

If you want to see more examples, here is the archive.org link for the 1908 issue: http://archive.org/details/archivfrurkunde00unkngoog/page/n49/mode/2up?view=theater

It’s called Holländische Antiqua. Originally published by Heinrich Hoffmeister, later by D. Stempel AG. 

Not available as digital font. Similar fonts are available using the keyword “romanisch”.
