Vintage signs by OptimaBold. While "Berliner Biere" is presented inFette Fraktur, a different blackletter face has been used for "Berliner Weiße":Walbaum Fraktur. The eszett doesn't use the compact form as included in the digital versions, but rather a literal – perfectly acceptable – ligature of 'ſ' and 'z'.

The logo with the tray carrying bear has survived the German reunification, although the animal had to lose quite a few pounds to become fit for capitalism.
