About Berthold
Building on its strong heritage, Berthold Types, successor to the highly regarded H. Berthold type foundry, looks back onto a history of 150 years of distinguished type design. Guenter Gerhard Lange, along with Bernd Moellenstaedt and Dieter Hofrichter, form the core of Berthold’s ‘Type Atelier’ located in Germany to provide an indispensable element in the continued development of the Berthold Exklusiv typefaces.
