Chicago,
Illinois (January 4, 2000) - Today Berthold Types Limited announced
the appointment of Günter Gerhard Lange as artistic consultant
to Berthold Types. Under this long-term arrangement, Lange will
develop and design new typefaces exclusively for Berthold Types.
In addition, Lange will guide the direction of the Berthold Exklusiv
Collection.
As
H. Berthold AGs artistic director from 1961 to 1990, Günter
Gerhard Lange was responsible for the creation, meticulous production
standards and attention to quality found in each of the Berthold
Exklusivs. Langes type designs include his classic revivals: AG
Book, AG Old Face, Berthold
Garamond, Berthold Baskerville
Book, Berthold Bodoni Old
Face and Berthold Caslon
Book; as well as his original designs: Arena
New, Boulevard, Champion, Concorde, Concorde

Lange's skill and craftsmanship elevated Berthold's type program
producing one of the most significant libraries in the world.
After
10 years of retirement from his position as Bertholds artistic
director, Langes reunion with Berthold will provide an indispensible
element in the continued development of the Berthold Exklusiv Collection
and solidify Berthold's position as a leading type foundry.
About H. Berthold
Building on its strong heritage, Berthold Types, successor to the highly regarded H. Berthold AG type foundry, looks back onto a history of 148 years of distinguished type design. Günter
Gerhard Lange, along with Bernd Möllenstädt and Dieter Hofrichter, form the core of Berthold’s “Type Atelier” located in Munich to provide an indispensable element in the continued development of the Berthold Exklusiv typefaces.
