Henry Schuenemann Born in 1866 in Cleveland, OH. Credited with the design of these typefaces: Acadian No3 and No4 (1882, Cleveland Type Foundry). Victorian typefaces. Alpine (before 1885, Cleveland Type Foundry). Revived in 2017 by Alan Jay Prescott as Alpenhorn Roman. Presott writes: Another oddball typeface is revived here, renamed from the design called Alpine by Henry Schuenemann for the Cleveland Type Foundry in the 1880s. Buried in the "gingerbread" of this weird face is technically a Latin serif, but otherwise it is an entirely unique letterform for which I had a heart soft enough to revive here in digital form. Chic (1888, Cleveland Type Foundry). Art nouveau. Clifton (1889, Barnhart Bros. & Spindler). Victorian. DeVinne Extended (ca. 19896, Central Type Foundry). Euclid (1889, Cleveland Type Foundry). Victorian. Alan Jay Prescott did revivals of Euclid and several other typefaces, which he called Euclid, Euclid Initials, Euclastic, Elberon, Astral, and Auroral (2018). He explains Euclid's genesis differently: Elberon existed by November 1886 from Cleveland Type Foundry in The Inland Printer. Euclid (a lighter version of Elberon with a few different glyphs) is an obvious derivative from Illinois Type Founding Co. in Chicago in August 1890. Euclid appears with several Euclid Initials, a full sample of which appears as "Grant Iniitials" from Minnesota Typographic Co. Auroral (basically a shaded form of Elberon) appears in January 1887 from Central type foundry. Astral, also from Central type foundry, (the almost exact shading concept) whose base form is a condensed, heavier form than Euclid) appears in December 1886. Euclastic is my name for a complete set of weights, from a Hairline at the extreme end of lightness, through Black at the other extreme, using redesigned examples of Euclid and Elberon. French Old Style (Central Type Foundry). Gazelle (ca. 1893, Cleveland Type Foundry). Revived in 2017 by Alan Jay PrescottIllyrian (1883, Cleveland Type Foundry). A curly Victorian typeface that was revived as Illyrian by Dan X. Solo. Ivanhoe Series (1893, Cleveland Type Foundry). Mikado (1886, Cleveland Type Foundry). Imitating a child's hand? Oxford, Oxford No.2 and Oxford No.3 (1888, Cleveland Type Foundry). This includes ornamental caps. Oxford No2 was revived in 2013 by Brian J. Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles as MFC Damask. Walton (ca. 1885, Cleveland Type Foundry). Waverly Circular (before 1895, Cleveland Type Foundry).
