Gothic Types used by Koberger at Nuremberg

From Koberger Bible, Register des buchs der Croniken vnd geschichten, mit figure vnd pildnussen von anbegin der welt bis auf dise vnsere Zei

1483

…in the fifteenth century there was a tendency in German gothic types toward the forms of letter which we associate with German text of to-day… This is markedly known, too, in the rounder type-forms employed in Koberger’s German Bible just mentioned, or in his Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493, which are easily recognized as German in feeling.
