I did not know that.

Berliner Grotesk, Halbfette
H.Berthold AG, Berlin
Erstguß 1913
Hausschnitt

Not on your .jpg-list, but do you know Herald Reklame?
Andreas Seidel digitalized it under the name “Heraut”:

Ah, a new one on me, but I see the similarities.

Also check out Berliner Grotesk - less personality but a similar style to Philite.

If you like Philite, you might like the caps on MeMimas Alternate.

Or an alternative

Have any of these faces got digital versions yet?

Found a few faces I quite liked in an old sample book and fancied bringing a couple into the digital age. had a look around but couldn’t find digital versions of any, but wanted a few more eyes to check them over and ensure I don’t duplicate work...

Faces are here: http://www.stone-soup.co.uk/uploads/fonts1.jpg

Obviously Hidalgo is very much a Clarendon style slab, but there’s a couple of differences (notably the 2 and 7 which I’ve failed to put on the sample), and Crusader seems to mostly be Swash/decorative caps — I’m mostly interested in Philite, as I’ve fallen in love with it and want to get stuck in.

Anyone spot any that I shouldn’t bother with?
