Korinna, International Typeface Corporation (ITC), 1975

‘The vigorous design of Korinna has brought this letter out of obscurity and tossed it directly into the typographic limelight. Rarely has a revival been so perfectly in tune with the contemporary scene. The original drawings for Korinna were executed at H. Berthold AG in 1904, as was the first cutting. ITC recognizes Berthold as the originator, and compensates the foundry for use of the name and general design. Enriching of the flavor and augmenting the letter into a useful series of four weights and an outline is the work of Ed Benguiat, Vic Caruso and the staff of Photo-Lettering, Inc. There is not the slightest doubt that Korinna’s second debut will far out-shine her first, for here is an enchanting lady who, at seventy, is younger than ever.’
