An earlier (1926) constructed alphabet from Jan Tschichold, based on a somewhat finer grid and a slightly less condensed uppercase and a bolder appearance overall.
With a caps-height of 17, reproducing some diagonals proved quickly to be between nightmarish and impossible, thus the fidelity is a bit less exact than my previous recreation.
For a digitisation that encompass both designs and offers proper alternates, you can look at Peter Wiegel’s Tschichold.

This is the original construction grid, for the most part easily replicable with a 2×2 filter. The complete alphabet: uppercase and lowercase.
The digits also appear in the uppercase link if anyone is wondering (the O is playing double duty as the zero in strings of numbers)
Very nice recreation. Personally, I think FS is the ideal place to recover these types of sources. Thanks.
* this kind of fonts (sorry).
Thanks, elmoyenique!
(here’s a silly sample inspired by your words :-)
@riccard0 Congrats for a Staff Pick! It's the 14th time you got a Staff Pick.
@riccard0 I don't think FontStruct or the internet was around in 1925… Also, Congrats on the top pick!
Thanks for the unexpected top pick!
and i doubt it'll be running in 2108
Congrats on the TP!
Btw, nice anniversary sample ;-)
Welcome Back i like this!
This is so nice.
I wonder what the rationale for the lower right hard corner in the lowercase a. He didn't use it a similar condition for the b,d,p,or q.
@George: Thanks. I will go out of a limb and speculate that it’s from the way they’re conventionally constructed in blackletter.
Fontstruct is 15 years old, not 100
@stardog017219: Obviously, you should know it was a joke. FontStruct has been around since 2008; this year marks its 17th anniversary on the web. :-)
