L. Schuler on Kapuzinerstraße 13, Mainz.

When I took these pictures of a former painting supplies store in Mainz, it was the ligated 'ch' pair that had caught my eye. Not that it was unusual to keep these two letters (as well as 'ck') together. On the contrary, it was pretty muchArkonafett, designed by Karl Klauß and first cast by Genzsch & Heyse in 1935.
