Cut by punchcutting firm Riegerl & Weißenborn [Bertheau] or Wagner & Schmidt [Reichardt] in Leipzig and first sold by the Böttger foundry in Paunsdorf in 1907 as Antiqua 7 in regular and halbfett. In 1910, fett and schmalhalbfett styles were added. When Berthold acquired Böttger in 1918, the family was renamed to Antiqua 7P. Also cast by Haas as Rhenania-Antiqua (1910), by Numrich (and later Bauer) as Universitäts-Antiqua (1911), by Klinkhardt as Standard-Antiqua (1912), by Weisert as Goethe-Antiqua (1927). Expanded to 5 styles incl. a kursiv, it became best known under the name Druckhaus-Antiqua as used by Zanker (1912 [VdS]), Brüder Butter (see Schriftguss), and Weber. [Bertheau] Also cast by Gans as Antigua Universal (before 1922). The schmalhalbfett was cast by Fonderie Boudin as Piccady étroit and by Amsterdam as Reclame small (1912) [Reichardt] and by Funtimod as Guanabara [Aragão].*
