Description
In 1906, German type designer Rudolf Koch (1876–1934) joined the Gebrüder Klingspor type foundry of Offenbach am Main, where he created some twenty-three type faces, both gothic and roman. Koch first sketched this graceful roman “Antiqua” in 1916, but the war delayed its immediate development. Issued in 1922, Antiqua was a great commercial success, and was employed in Great Britain under the name Locarno and in the United States as Eve.
