Two German typefaces from the 1920s, used together on the French single for “Zimbabwe”, a song from the Survival album (1979) by Bob Marley and the Wailers which was performed at Zimbabwe’s Independence Celebration in 1980. Berthold’s Schmale Block (or Block Condensed) was first cast in 1920. Ludwig & Mayer’s Koloss, which is here used in caps with alternating glyph colors, followed in 1923.
