There are various digitizations of Minister. Linotype’s was made by Alex Kaczun in 1987 and spans 4 weights with italics. Also sold by Adobe. Used for the sample.
The versions by Elsner+Flake, Scangraphic, and URW are largely identical to each other, but clearly different from Linotype’s. They span 3 weights plus 2 italics. See also Administer.
