Looking for information on the types Mainorm and Block from Berthold

Hi everybody,

I am looking for information on the types Mainorm and Block from Berthold.
The only information I can find about Block is "file magazine", the year and the designer.
About Mainorm I just found the year and the designer.

I would like to find a critique or a list of companies using the types.

Can anybody help with more experience?
Thank you!

Maireder's site is here: http://www.maireder.at/
He used his font Mainorm (among others?) for this company:
http://www.maireder.at/Funkberater.html.
Can't see it in his other designs.
Berthold Block is quite ubiquitious.
What do you need that information for?

In 1995, Design Austria published a four pages leaflet (size A4, in German) called 'Schriften oesterreichscher Designer 02. Karlheinz Maireder – Mainorm (Funkberater)'. You can order it at Design Austria:

THANK YOU!

I always like to know something about a type before I buy it or recommend it for a logo design. The history and former usage is very interesting to know, but sometimes there is not so much information on the internet.

So I thank you very much for your help.
