As far as I know he established his type foundry november 18th 1873 and it was closed down i 1982. Who owns the fonts now I'm not sure of. It is in fact from William Simmelkiær Grafisk Compagni A/S.

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:25:13 +0000 http://grainedit.com/?p=2595#comment-10869 Hey I am certain that this is a typeface from an old danish design comany which to my knowledge doesn't exist anymore. But I think that it was designed by the dane William Simmelkiaer arround 1900. He had his own typefoundry in Copenhagen however I dont know who owns the fonts now. I foudn this picture of a book he published which contains some lovely fonts. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27498201@N07/2564568511/sizes/l/in/pool-74503026@N00/ cheers Phillip Hey I am certain that this is a typeface from an old danish design comany which to my knowledge doesn’t exist anymore.
