Main typographer (b. 1915) at AlphaType in Niles, IL. Bitstream states: AlphaType Corporation, a family-owned company, was founded by Al and Beatrice Friedman in the mid-1960s to make high quality but inexpensive phototypesetters for advertising typographers. In 1981 Berthold acquired AlphaType. He made Cremona in 1982 for Alphatype (now Berthold): a macho face to get your point across. He created the serif family Vladimir at Alphatype in 1966. Other faces there: Allan, American Gothic, Beatrice Script, Contemp, Magna Carta. At VGC, he published Andrich Minerva in 1965, which won Second Prize in the 1965 VGC National Type Face Design Competition.
