He created the blackletter typeface Marggraff-Deutsch (1939, Schriftguss: leicht, halbfett, fett) and the script typeface Marggraff Kursiv (1928, followed by Marggraff Kursiv Zarte in 1929; at Schriftguss), and Marggraff Light Italic (1929, Schriftguss--the upstrokes in the g, r, m, n are thin and separate from the downstrokes). Some of his work. Marggraff Bold Script was digitized (and modified) by Dan X. Solo as Margie (Solotype). Solotype mentions the Dresden Foundry, not Schriftguss as the source of the latter face. Sometimes his first name is written Gerhardt.
