Hi,
I was wondering how much time I have to wait to create a digital revival of a printed typeface?
I have an original Stempel sample of a typeface from the 40's that I want to re-make.
Linotype already has a digital version (the only one). Is there a time frame for this kind of thing?
How does this work?
Thank you.

The font that I want to re-make is on this list, so its registered, but only in USA?
I never understood font naming trademarks... I thought they where by country
I don’t think there is any legal issue (other than re-using the original name), because the notion of intellectual property in typefaces applies only to digital files; things may be more strict in some European countries, I’ve heard, but I doubt that this kind of “revival” would warrant prosecution (disclaimer: I am *only* a type designer, not a lawyer!)
