Released in 1925 [Google
Books] or 1927 [Middendorp 2004] [Reichardt/Hoefer].
Shown by Solotype and other phototype houses as Woodcut
Alphabet, which is a literal translation of the original
Dutch name. There are basically two digitizations.
Woodcut (The Font Company, 1992; disappeared from the
market after 2013) seems to share some data with
Tarzan (FontBank, 1990–1993; used for the sample) and
Mahagoni (Brendel, 1994). There is also another
Woodcut (Computer Support Corp., 1996; other sources:
Arts & Letters Corp., 1995–2001) which is an entirely different
digitization. This freebie comes with various uncalled-for
variations incl. (faux) Italic, Condensed, Extended, Cracked. Also
included as Funky with CorelDraw 5. [WhatTheFont] More…

[WhatTheFont] Dieter Steffmann’s freebie under the original name (1999; Regular and Shadow) apparently is an expansion of this branch.
