Kuenstler 480 is a Bitstream version of Trump Mediaeval of Linotype, 1954-60, by Georg Trump, a prolific German type designer. It seems to be his best typeface. It has a vigorous roman and its italic is the sloped roman, except for the letters a, e, f. With its crisp angularity and wedge-shaped serifs, Trump Mediaeval appears carved in stone. It is a strong text typeface that is highly legible and especially useful for low-resolution output. It is useful in display work too. Cyrillic version was developed for ParaType by Vladimir Yefimov and Isabella Chaeva and released in 2010. Cyrillic italics maintain the main feature of Trump Mediaeval, it’s the sloped roman, except for the letters г, д, и, й, n, т. There are old style figures, additional ligatures and fractions available in all styles and small caps in Roman 55. Black style was added in 2011 by Vladimir Yefimov.
