Coming to your desktop: fonts from URW++
Ben Trissel, writing for Typekit:
Founded in 1972 as URW (Unternehmensberatung Rubow Weber—from the founders’ names) in Hamburg, Germany, then re-imagined as URW++ in 1995, this foundry has been a pioneer in the digitization of type. In addition to crafting many popular original typefaces, URW also develops software for professional font production.
