Can anyone help me to identify the fonts used by Kurt Schwitters for the covers and inserts of his Merz journal? I'm interested not only in the font he used for the title (which has been a previous topic on this forum in 2008, though unsolved) but also the fonts used for the 5 and the 7 (below) and the ARP MAPPE subheading.
I am fairly certain these are printed from wood type. We also know that Schwitters printed this Merz portfolio (and some others) at the A. Molling print shop in Hannover. And that he was affiliated with the typesetter Paul Vogt in these years (of PEUVAG Druckerei).
Even if the fonts can't be identified precisely -- Any insight into what typefaces Molling's shop might have had on hand? Would they have been punchcut wood types? Any insight into where they would likely have been cut?
Thanks
