ABOUT

Adolph Rusch

Or Adolf Rusch von Ingweiler, who was active in Strasbourg from 1460 until 1489. The first roman antiqua north of the Alps is ascribed to him in 1464. The consensus is that this was not as pretty as the later types by Griffo et al.

Nevertheless, Shane Brandes did a large digital revival of his antiqua in 2013 and called it Rusch.

Revivals by Alexis Faudot and Rafael Ribas in 2018 during a type design workshop at ESAL Metz and Bibliothèque municipale de Metz, France:

• Rusch Bizarre 103R. A Proto-Roman first used in Strasbourg by Adolf Rusch for Raban Maur's De universo between 1467-74 (exact date unknown) and used until 1475.
• Rusch 100G, Gotico-Antiqua first used in Strasbourg by Adolf Rusch for Balbus' Catholicon, between 1470-75 (exact date unknown) and used until 1478.
