    <title>Kristall-Grotesk lichtfett in use</title>
    <link>https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/32695/kristall-grotesk-lichtfett</link>
    <description>Kristall-Grotesk lichtfett in use. An all-caps inline variant of Kristall-Grotesk. Like the solid version, it had alternates for ‘AÄMNVW’, with pointed and flat apexes. [Schriftenkartei index cards]

Grafotechna’s Universal Grotesk světlý is a version that was available in Czechoslovakia as part of Universal Grotesk. It’s shown exclusively with the flat-apex forms and a non-descending and barless ‘J’. [1966 specimen]

A digital version is included in Elsner+Flake’s Kristall Grotesk (2009). It has alternates with pointy apexes for ‘AMNVW’.</description>

Ziegler used it for “MADAM”, in <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/tags/3388/alternating-glyph-colors" data-entity-code-id="3388" data-entity-code-type="Tag">alternating glyph colors</a>. Apparently he didn’t like the <a href="http://collections.bm-lyon.fr/MIL_01CTF00101150MG01?&amp;query[]=date_s:%221958-1984%20Photocomposition%22&amp;hitStart=90&amp;hitTotal=201&amp;hitPageSize=25">original <strong>A</strong> with the flat top</a>, and made his own form, taking cues from a flipped <strong>V</strong>.</p>

<p>I don’t know whether the sans-serif inline caps are custom drawn or taken from a typeface. Neither <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/12527/phosphor" data-entity-code-id="12527" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Phosphor</a>, <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/44478/lux-antieke" data-entity-code-id="44478" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Lux Antieke</a>, or <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/8600/drescher-grotesk" data-entity-code-id="8600" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Drescher Grotesk</a> is a match. [Edit: It’s probably a manually drawn interpretation (or a crude poster cut?) of <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/32695/kristall-grotesk-lichtfett" data-entity-code-id="32695" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Kristall-Grotesk lichtfett</a></strong>, which was shown in 1966 by <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/foundry/1838/grafotechna" data-entity-code-id="1838" data-entity-code-type="Foundry">Grafotechna</a> as <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/77509/universal-grotesk" data-entity-code-id="77509" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Universal Grotesk</a> světlý. In the specimen, the middle bar in <strong>E</strong> is longer than the top bar – unlike in this application – but other details are a match, like the high center in <strong>M</strong> and the flat apexes in <strong>N</strong>.]</p>
