Künstler-Schreibschrift (Bohn)
[
Reichardt 2011
], which was later extended into a lighter weight. The old styles exhibit several design differences in comparison to Bohn’s version: smaller x-height, smooth joins, diamond-shaped dots, ascending ‘p’, pointed ‘A’, descending ‘G’, ‘Q’ tail above the baseline, ‘X’ with loops and no crossbar.
Mecanorma’s dry-transfer version was named

. More digitizations of the halbfett include
Kuenstler Script No.2 Bold
(Adobe) a.k.a.
Kuenstler Script #2 Bold
(Linotype), both with diamond-shaped dots like in the metal original, and
