Loose and angular, this typeface was originally designed by Imre Reiner for the Amsterdam Typefoundry in 1951. Attracted by its free-form structure and unique texture, Tobias Frere-Jones revived the original design from handset proofs in 1993 and designed a new boldface to accompany it. Following Reiner's personal style of calligraphy, over twenty ligatures were added to each weight for flexibility and variety in headlines; FB 1993
