SCHWABACHER

Not all Gothic typefaces are the same, and there were several distinctive designs that were used in the early years of printing. While similar to the rounded Rotunda Gothic, Schwabacher is more angular and has certain distinctive letter designs, such as in the capitals A and H. It was perhaps the most common typeface in Germany until Fraktur supplanted it by the mid-16th century.

The name comes from the German town of Schwabach, just south of Nuremburg, where it is believed the font was designed. The earliest extant appearance of the typeface is from an Augsburg printing of 1472 (Augsburg is about 80 miles (129 km) south of Schwabach). It was famously used by Anton Koberger for both his Latin and German editions of the lavishly-illustrated Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493, a comprehensive history of the world from the creation to the date of publication compiled by Nuremberg scholar and doctor, Hartmann Schedel. Those editions proved to be so popular that the Augsburg printer Johann Schönsperger (ca. 1455-1521) plagiarized the editions to produce his own small folio German edition, with 2100 new woodcuts, in 1476, followed by a Latin edition in 1497, and then another German reprint in 1500, all using Schwabacher type.

The original leaf shown here is from the p signature of Schönsperger's 1497 Latin edition which is included in the leaf book . . . the highest form of flattery . . . by the American book designers, letterpress printers, and specialists in the Nuremberg Chronicle Adrian (1923-1988) and Joyce L. Wilson (1914-1996), printed under the direction of George R. Kane (1913-2009) at the Cowell Press of UC Santa Cruz by Felicia Rice (b. 1954) and Nick Zachreson in an edition of 90 copies in 1982. Ours is one of 60 copies bound in half leather. For the record, UWM Special Collections does not condone the breaking of books for sale or for inclusion in leaf books. Our copy was part of the donation from our late friend Jerry Buff (1931-2025).

R, 2023

I've always really loved fonts and typography, so when I came across 1000 Fonts: An Illustrated Guide to Finding the Right Typeface I felt like I had hit the jackpot and knew that I had to make an art piece using it. I definitely want to do other letters as well, R just seemed like the most interesting letter to start with.
