Belwe Roman
# Belwe Roman

Belwe Roman is a display typeface designed by Georg Belwe in 1907. The type has Old Style qualities, but short ascenders and very short descenders as well as calligraphic and Fraktur influences.

## Foundry Type

Belwe Roman was originally cast by the Schelter & Giesecke Type Foundry in text, medium bold, and bold weights. An inline version was cast as well.

## Cold Type Copies

Belwe Roman was revived in Cold Type versions by Compugraphic as Belwe. It was popular enough for all four original weights and styles to be reissued.

## Digital Copies

A digital version, also simply called Belwe, was released in 1989 by ITC. Another version, Belwe EF, is made by Elsner+Flake.

## Usage

* Used in the video game Hearthstone, as a UI and card name typeface.
* Used in the logo of T-shirt manufacturer Patagonia.
