Under the direction of Günter Gerhard Lange, Berthold added AG Medium Italic (1963), AG ExtraBold (1966), AG Italic (1967), AG ExtraBold Condensed & Italic (1968), AG Super (1968).īasic Commercial font, Aileron font, and Protestant font are mostly similar to this. In the 1950s Günter Gerhard Lange, then art director at Berthold, began a project to enlarge the typeface family, adding a larger character set, but retaining all of the idiosyncrasies of the 1898 face.
The Theinhardt foundry later merged with Berthold and also supplied the regular, medium, and bold weights. Originally named “Accidenz-Grotesk” the design originates from Royal Grotesk light by royal type-cutter Ferdinand Theinhardt. Berthold first published Akzidenz-Grotesk in 1898.
