Tetterode Nederland (was: Lettergieterij Amsterdam)
Aka Typefoundry Amsterdam, foundry in the Netherlands, operating 1851-1988. A lot of the material about Tetterode can now be found in the University of Amsterdam. Among the many typeface families produced under its aegis, we cite Batak (1855), Gracia (1927, script face), Amazone (by Leonard H. D. Smit, 1958), Hercules (1926---a fat upright scriptish typeface with bunny ears, digitized in 2011 by Nick Curtis as Herkimer Bunrab NF), Orator, Promotor, Arsis, Mercator (1959, by G.W. Ovink and Dick Dooijes, this typeface was known as "the Dutch Helvetica"), Libra (by Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos, 1938), Reiner Script (Imre Reiner, 1951). Their webpage is useless. Lettergieterij Amsterdam played a large role in Dutch typography. |
