Heinrich Hoffmeister Heinrich Hoffmeister is a German foundry established in 1898 by Heinrich Wilhelm Hoffmeister (b. 1857 Lennep, d. 1921 Langen) and was based in Leipzig. Acquired by D. Stempel in 1918. Hoffmeister's typefaces: Amts Antiqua (1909-1922). Now known as Madison (1965, Stempel) or Century 725 (Matthew Carter, Bitstream) or Madison Antiqua (Ralph M. Unger, Linotype). See Madeira and Magazine on the SoftMaker MegaFont XXL CD (2002). See also Madius (URW), Geneva (SF), Madame (Scangraphic). Stempel's Madison Kursiv (1965) revives Amts Kursiv (1911). The Amts Kursiv halbfett and fett weights are given the date 1931 by Bernhard Schnelle. Reform-Fraktur (1903). Ekkehard-Fraktur (1917, at Stempel in 1918). This was earlier called Treubund-Fraktur. There also exists a Halbfette Ekkehard-Fraktur). Einheits-Fraktur (1914). Continental (1901). Reform-Antiqua (1905). Sensation (1909, Stempel). The Fette was done in 1913 and the Schmalfett in 1914. Sensation is known as Elegante at Baltimore Type Foundry. For a digital revival of the Schmalfett, see Concordia (2020, Ralph M. Unger). Sensation is characterized by a distracting foot on the r and exaggerated inward curves--quite an ugly duckling. Teutonia (ca. 1900). Säculum (1907, Stempel). Stempel-Fraktur (1916, Stempel). Digitized by Gerhard Helzel in 2006. Amts-Fraktur (1906-1911, Stempel). Revival by Gerhard Helzel, Chiron (2014, as TbC Schmalfette Amtsfraktur), and Christoph Schwedhelm (2013, as Schmalfette Amts-Fraktur). Karl Rupprecht did Buchgotisch in 1908. Clemens and Buschmann made Neuzeit-Fraktur (1909). FontShop link. PDF at Klingspor.
