This invoice by Eduard Kleefeld’s chocolate and cocoa factory in Hanover, Germany, is set in four sizes of Georg Belwe’s Belwe-Gotisch. The initials just above the fold are from Belwe-Antiqua. Both typefaces were released around the same time (1912/1913) by the Schelter & Giesecke foundry in Leipzig. The roman also appears on the green slip where it is paired with Bravour.

Leo Göpfert had ordered 60 bars of cooking chocolate, 25 rolls of cookies, and 50 bars of fondant chocolate for his shop in Lohr/Main.

Zoom in to see the various ligatures included in Belwe-Gotisch. For example, “Poſtſcheckkonto” has pairs for ſt, ch, and ck.
