Font used by Friedenauer Presse (Die Kunst ist ein Schrank)

Featured Replies

Hi,

i'm looking for the font used by Friedenauer Presse (Berlin) in book of Daniil Charms (Die Kunst ist ein Schrank).
The book was released in 1992. This font mostly used for page numbers (please see the picture).
Numbers like 2 and 3 reminds me of Belwe and number 4 reminds me of WC ADDENDUM Bta.
If someone can recognize that font, please let me know...

Kind regards,
Igor

Do you you know if this was letterpress/phototypesetting or digital typesetting?

It looks like Walbaum, but I am not sure the digital versions are an exact match.

I don't know how that book was printed, but the font looks really close, maybe that's the one!
So thank you, Ralf, so much!
