“Reworking of Breite halbfette Grotesk by Schelter & Giesecke, Leipzig (1890), matrices aquired by Haas ca. 1900 and initially named Breite fette Grotesk. They changed the g to the single storey form, supposedly more popular in German speaking countries by that time.” [Kupferschmid] Later shown by Haas as Altgrotesk. [c.1950 Haas specimen]

Christian Schwartz’s revival FF Bau (2002) features both forms of ‘g’. F Grotesk (2007–11) by Radim Peško is another revival.
