<p>The eighth issue of the pre-war 'quadrimestrial' of typography and graphic arts, Signature, that was edited by Oliver Simon and printed at the Curwen Press in Plaistow for March 1938 contains an article on two new typefaces. The first considered is a display face issued by Monotype and known as Temple Script and that was designed for the Deutscher Verlag (previously the famous and Jewish owned Verlag Ullstein that had been forcibly appropriated by the National Socialist dictatorship in 1934). As the article notes "Temple Script" was now generally available and is shown in a tipped in specimen that shows an extract from "The Life and Letters of Anton Tchekhov" set in the typeface along with a full 'fount'. Known as Monotype Series 455 it appears to also have been known as Uhlen-Schreibschrift and Tempelhof-Schreibschrift; Templehof having been home to the Ullstein publishing house.<br />
<br />
The second typeface considered is the Sachsenwald Gothic that I have previously scanned.</p>](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55064772357_b3d2df9e00_s.jpg)
