Berthold Wolpe’s (1905–1989) first typeface, originally cut in Germany in 1932, underwent numerous name changes, from Wolpe Rursiv to Hyperion. While other designs by the typographer, such as Albertus, found success early, Hyperion’s path remained obscure. A 1952 specimen seemed to be its debut, until earlier traces from 1936 emerged, including blackletter capitals and a different name – Matthias Claudius – a discovery that led to a revision and digital revival, honouring Wolpe’s original vision.
