Eduard Ege’s eponymous Ege-Schrift was first cast by Genzsch & Heyse around 1923. In 1926, the foundry added a solid version, Basalt, which in 1934 was supplemented by a lowercase.
The diagonally hatched caps of the original design can here be seen on the dust jacket for The Temptation of Anthony, a novel in verse accompanied by other poems, written by Isidor Schneider (1896–1977). This is the first edition published by Boni & Liveright in 1928.
