This German Latin lay is that sold by Drucken & Lernen, Raunheim in their Katalog 2007/2008. It is similar to the Nagra-Einteilung des Antiqua-Schriftkastens in Kollecher & Matuschke, Der Moderne Druck, 1956 apart from / instead of || and omitting the long s and its ligatures.

The box with -- is for em dash and ¦ is for a single dagger. Gevierte is em space, Halbgevierte is en, Viertelgevierte is mid, other spacing is 1, 1½, 2 (Didot) point. The empty case configuration is German Single.
