Breite fette Information

AKA Information breit fett (English: Information Extra Bold Wide). An extension of the Information family. Designed by Friedrich K. Sallwey and first cast in 20p by Klingspor in 1956, shortly before the foundry stopped casting type. Later expanded to sizes from 6 to 60p at Stempel. [Bertheau] Comes with two forms of ‘a’.

No official digital revival of the Information family currently exists. Berthold released one in 1993, but it is now unavailable. YWFT Matter and Not a Number (poorly drawn) are uncredited digitizations. Harry Gassel started another digitization in 2018.
