Koch-Antiqua
Koch-Antiqua is a serif typeface intended for decorative and display use, designed by Rudolf Koch and published by his employer the Klingspor Type Foundry from 1922 onwards. It is a delicate face with a low x-height, intended for decorative printing rather than for extended body text.

Koch-Antiqua was Koch’s first roman or “Antiqua” type (the kind generally used in western Europe, as opposed to blackletter writing) and achieved considerable attention both in Germany and abroad. It was exported under the names “Locarno” and “Eve”. Walter Tracy commented of it “I know of no type more elegant…Koch Antiqua is a highly individual design. It reveals the working of a fastidious mind and a skilful hand…perfectly suited to express in print the idea of elegance”.
