}}

Schelter & Giesecke's Breite halbfette Grotesk (wide, semibold sans-serif) was popular in trade and advertising printing in the mid-twentieth century, and was used by both Bauhaus-movement printers and Swiss-style designers of the mid-century.[3][4] Christian Schwartz's FF Bau is a loose digitisation.[5][6]

The foundry claimed by the twentieth century to have been one of the first to offer general-purpose sans-serif typefaces with lower-case, as early as 1825.[7][8] This was repeated by some authors, but is now known to be untrue: Wolfgang Homola dates it to 1882 based on a study of Schelter & Giesecke specimens.[9]{{efn|Walter Tracy also comments that the claimed date is "forty years too early" and James Mosley describes it as "thoroughly discredited".[10][11]}}

Press Manufacturing

Beginning in 1827 Schelter & Giesecke manufactured letterpress presses, cylinder proof presses and platen presses; and after World War I also of web-fed, letterpress and flexo printing presses.

The Leipzig house of foundry co-owner Georg Giesecke, designed by Berlin architect Max Hasak, survives and is listed.[12]
