Made at Berthold before 1898. [Reichardt 2011] Appears to be a recutting
of Lafayette (Central, 1885), with some
changes. Most notably, stems in ‘abd’ etc. don’t descend and have
horizontal instead of diagonal serifs, strokes in ‘mnuw’ are
straight instead of curved, ‘r’ doesn’t have a dangling terminal.
Shown in Petzendorfers Schriftenatlas (1903–1905) with
credits to Bauer & Co., Stuttgart, and H. Berthold, Berlin.
(Bauer &
Co. was acquired by Berthold in 1898 and is not to be confused
with the Bauersche Gießerei
in Frankfurt.)
A film version is shown by Lettergraphics (as
Concord) [Lettergraphics 1968–1975] and by Castcraft
[Castcraft 1978].
Concordia was digitally revived as Gable Antique Condensed SG (Spiece
Graphics, used for sample) and again as More…
