Foundry Type

Belwe Roman was originally cast by the Schelter & Giesecke Type Foundry in text, medium bold, and bold weights. An inline version was cast as well.[1]

Cold Type Copies

Belwe Roman was revived in Cold Type versions by Compugraphic as Belwe. It was popular enough for all four original weights and styles to be reissued.[2]

Digital Copies

A digital version, also simply called Belwe, was released in 1989 by ITC. Another version, Belwe EF, is made by Elsner+Flake.
