Punchcutter, b. 1861 (Berlin), who made many typefaces. He worked at the Central Type Foundry and then ATF in the late 1800s, and was living in St. Louis, MO, in 1891 and in Mill Valley, CA in 1892.

Werner for BB&S), an unnamed face for BBS (1891), another unnamed face (1893), an unnamed art nouveau face and another unnamed serif face (1893, for VJA Rey), an art deco face for ATF (1897--remarkable, 20 years ahead of the art deco movement), Pastel (originally called Era) and Eccentric (1881, an arts and crafts face available in digital form at Agfa (now Monotype) and at Adobe).
