A Magnificent "F" (1919)

JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post

I came upon this cover advertisement for the Illustrirte Zeitung (Leipzig) for September 1919 and was excited by this typeface--especially the fantastic "f". The ad was for the German film production company UFA (Universum Film AG, today known as UFA GmbH) which was started a little less than two years earlier. There's not much I want to say about the company--I really just wanted to share the typography.
