Auchentaller was developed by Josef Auchentaller and published by HiH. Auchentaller contains 1 design. p > Auchentaller was influenced by a travel poster by Josef Maria Auchentaller in 1906. To our knowledge, it was never ever cast in type. Grado rests on the northern Adriatic, in between Venice and Trieste. At one time the port for the important Roman town of Aquileia. With the decline of the Roman Empire, the upper Adriatic region came under the rule of the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths, the Byzantines, the Lombards, the Franks, the Germans, the Venetians and lastly, in 1796, the Austrian Hapsburgs. So it stayed up until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1919, following World War I, when the seaport of Trieste was granted to Italy. With Trieste came Montefalcone, Aquileia and Grado. The area was marked by years of political tension in between Italy and Yugoslavia, exemplified by the d'Annunzio exploration to capture Fiume (Rijeka) in September, 1919. Some fundamental conversation of the period from 1919 to 1939 might be found in Seton-Watson's Eastern Europe Between The Wars (Cambridge 1945) and Rothschild's East Central Europe In Between The 2 World Wars (Seattle 1974). In 1965 I was traveling by train from Venice to Vienna. Crossing the Alps, the train picked up customizeds assessment at the rural Italian-Austrian border, simply above Slovenia. We were warned not to get off the train due to the fact that there were still shooting skirmishes in the area. Through all this, Grado remained literally an island of serenity, linked to the mainland by a just causeway and lines on a map.

Auchentaller not only painted the beach scene at Grado, he moved there, living out the rest of his life in this comfortable little island town. His travel illustration contains the text from which the style of our typeface Auchentaller is drawn. The text translates: 'Beach resort: Grado/ Austrian seaside land'. Please see our gallery images to see a map finding Grado, as well as Auchentaller's painting of the resort.

Auchentaller is a monoline all-cap font, light and open in style, with a great deal of normally art nouveau letter forms. Included in our font are a number of ligatures. As is often seen in styles by German speakers, the umlaut is embedded in the O & & U below the tops of the letters. This approach caused 2 whimsies: a happy umlauted O and an unfortunate umlauted U. This font style has a tidy, crisp appearance that is really appealing and very distinctive.

Auchentaller ML represents a significant extension of the initial release, with the following changes:

1. Added glyphs for the 1250 Central Europe, the 1252 Turkish and the 1257 Baltic Code Pages. Add glyphs to complete standard 1252 Western Europe Code Page. Special glyphs moved and assigned Unicode codepoints, some in Personal Use location. Overall of 336 glyphs.

2. Added OpenType GSUB layout features: pnum, liga, salt & & ornm.

3. Added 116 kerning pairs.

4. Modified vertical metrics for improved cross-platform line spacing.

6. Minor refinements to various glyph outlines.

7. Addition of both tabular & & proportional numbers.

8. Addition of both basic intense and Polish kreska with option of alternate accented glyphs for c, n, r, s & & z.

Please note that some older applications may only be able to access the Western Europe character set (around 221 glyphs).

The zip package includes two variations of the font at no additional charge. There is an OTF version which is in Open PS (Post Script Type 1) format and a TTF variation which remains in Open TT (Real Type) format. Use whichever works finest for your applications.
