Hmmm... the footnote appears to be a different font. Note the "W"
especially.

Romana, I believe. Several weights/variations are available in digital
form.

Hello everyone,
does this font-family look familiar to someone here:
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2029/pageshot.jpg
http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2852/auszug.jpg
These are samples from an old book printed 1907 in Vienna/Austria.
I know, the scans are of poor quality, but eventually the charasteric
letterforms like K, R, G or E, F, H with their heigthened horizontal
bar ring a bell and someone can even tell me the name of the digital
version (if it exists).
Yours,
Marc

but the K in the scanned material is different with the one in the
previews from myfonts...

So it is. It could be Elzevir (aka French Old Style). I took a look at
DeVinne and it isn't DeVinne. There was another similar font, Lorimer
(Intertype) which was based on Romaans (Amsterdam Typefoundry). My
samples of Lorimer were destroyed so I have nothing to compare.
I know of no digital versions of any of these. All were in use around
1907.

That's right, but eventually the downstroke got straightened during the
digitalisation.
Romana Classico even has a much more ecccentric K, than the sample:
http://www.letterheadfonts.com/fonts/romanaclassico.shtml
which indicates, that they both share the same roots.
Anyway. Romana is a close enough match with the old-fashioned touch of
the font I'm looking for and the W might just be a misprint.
Thanks a lot, Bill.
Yours,
Marc |

Awesome.
ParaType has it as proper OpenType, with the weird K in the latin
alphabet too (so I don't need to fiddle around with a font editor) and
even a true italic version.
ÑпаÑибо,
