"Breitkopf Fraktur was designed by Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf (1719-1794), the well-known type designer and printer of Leipzig. Breitkopf’s high reputation is based on a system of musical notes printing developed by him. 1793, in the final stage of his life, he designed this beautiful broken script named after himself.
Breitkopf Fraktur is classified as “broken”, something created by the German renaissance. Broken because all round parts of the lower case characters in such typefaces look broken.

Description: Leipzig, J.G.J. Breitkopf, 1779. 4to. 56pp. Woodcut printer's device, head- and tail-pieces. Uncut. In modern paper boards. (some browning throughout).*A pamphlet announcing the forthcoming publication of a work on the invention of printing by the 18th-century Leipzig printer, type-founder, and bookseller Johann Breitkopf (1719-1794), who is credited by some with the invention of map-printing with moveable type. He introduced great improvements to letterpress music-types, and was an acquaintance of Goethe, some of whose earlier poems he set to music. The book advertised in this pamphlet was never published. But, according to Breitkopf, it was intended as a response to the contemporary chauvinistic assertions of Domenico Manni in Florence, Giuseppe Bernazza in Cagliari, and Jean des Roches in Brussels, each of whom had recently claimed their homeland for the birthplace of the invention of printing.
