About Translated from original German description: In 1876 Karl Hermann Albert Anklam developed his new Schwabacher, which was published by the type foundry Gentsch and Heyse in Hamburg and quickly became one of the most successful typefaces of its time. Many other type foundries purchased strikes and were able to supply this typeface as well, but some others simply copied it galvanically. The Rudhardsche foundry, later Gebr der Klingspor in Offenbach am Main, also wanted to share in this success and developed it as their own corporate typeface, the Offenbacher Schwabacher.
