Fette Haenel-Fraktur was made in c. 1840. It appears in Walbaum’s Weimar specimen from 1846. [Albert Kapr: Fraktur] “Haenel may have merged fette Fraktur letters and/or sizes from Walbaum with Krumwiede’s [a Berlin punchcutter who cut fette Fraktur types in 1834]. Haenel’s punchcutters may have expanded the size range, too. Klingspor ‘revived’ Haenel’s Krumwiede-based fette Fraktur mix under the name Fette Haenel-Fraktur.” [Reynolds] It was cast from old matrices by Klingspor in 1933 [Reichardt 2011].
