We are often asked if we have any type or fonts in languages other than English. We happen to have two examples and we thought today would be a good day to discuss it because September 12th this year is German Language Day. It is a day to highlight and promote the language worldwide. For today, Howard discussed and letterpress printed type from one of two German fonts that we have in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. “Guten tag” was printed in German Gothic Vertical 38 point font, which is an irregular font size. This font was cast at the Farmer, Little & Co. Type Foundry in New York City sometime between 1862 and 1892. This was printed with a mix of red and black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #german #gutentag #printing #museumtok
