ARCHIVE ORIGINATION:
This font family distribution archive was downloaded from Mr. Steffmann's official font catalog archive and updated with documentation and a preview image by Doug Peters for Font-Journal. This document has been created specifically for distribution with this font as a factual document to protect all parties, especially graphic designers that would use the font in a commercial project. Any updates to this font or its distribution archive can be found at the home URL for this font listed just below.

This archive can be found at the following URL on Font-Journal.com:
https://www.font-journal.com/fonts/13603/alte_schwabacher_family.php

This archive has been enhanced with this note as a means to document the great works Dieter Steffmann has contributed to the world. This is done in the hopes that he will always be credited for his wonderful gifts to humanity, as many of his archives lack any documentation what-so-ever.

Please note that Dieter Steffmann has a great deal of typefaces on Font-Journal. To view the entire collection you can search for his name on Font-Journal (or use the URL below):

Note however, that Mr. Steffmann has created a large volume of free fonts. I have much to do in order to document all of his fonts (both the ones I will add and the older ones that have previously been archived before I started this documentation project).

Perhaps Dieter Steffmann didn't include documentation in his distribution archives since he made them freely available to the public without much restriction on regular use. It will take me a while, but I will be working to get them all updated with a text sample gif & documentation, eventually. Still, it's going to take a long time, as I do only run Font-Journal in my spare time.

This font's official archive was originally downloaded from:
http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/steffmann/

Specifically:
http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/steffmann/samples/a/altecaps.htm

...but that archive lacks the documentation and simple preview gif and I prefer that the license info, documentation and a preview image be included with my archives so that as a designer I can always reference this information should some scammer come along and pretend the font is theirs.

Therefore, I have added that sample gif (found on that same page) to that very archive, along with adding this documentation which includes the license and a quick history lesson so that it is not lost (as in typical Font-Journal fashion for new font additions). This gives professional graphic designers and marketers an easy way to prove that it is free and OK for commercial use, as well as learn a little of the history without too much trouble.
