Era (BB&S)

1891-10-21. Cut for Barnhart Brothers & Spindler by Gustave F. Schroder and Nicholas J. Werner (as the independent matrix engraving firm of Schroeder & Werner) using either the Central Type Foundry Pantograph (by then owned by them) or the Schroeder-Boyer Pantograph, or both. McGrew attributes it to both Werner and Schroeder, but Werner in 1931 attributed it to Schroeder alone. He (Werner) also notes that as Pastel it was much used in (silent) film cards. ( Werner, N. J.

St. Louis: [St. Louis Club of Printing House Craftsmen, 1931. , reprinted as "St. Louis in Type-Founding History" Share Your Knowledge Review, Vol. 22, No. 3 (January 1941): 21-26. )

Etienne

Shown in Jaspert, Berry & Johnson. Encyclopaedia of Type Faces. Fourth Edition. (London: Blandford [Cassell], 1970): 85. JBJ identify it as "probably" by Wagner & Schmidt (1902) and indicate that it was also offered by Haas, Typefoundry Amdsterdam, and Stempel.

This face seems to have been closely (but not exactly) copied by The Monotype Corporation Limited (UK) in 1935 as Runic Condensed (English Monotype Series 420). It would indeed seem to be a face in the Runic style, albeit a distinctive variation (see especially its 'C').
