Haarlemmer是對從未被生產過的Jan Van Krimpen字體的再創作：這展示瞭他最初是如何設計它的。
最初的版本繪制於20世紀30年代末，是為Dutch Society for The Art of Printing and Books創作的，而且會通過使用Monotype排版將其用於新版《聖經》的設置。因此，問題就出現瞭：像Linotype和Monotype這樣的鑄字排版的字體必須在一個預先確定的字符寬度值中創建。每一個字母都必須與之相匹配，且其間距由一個隻有18個單元的網格決定。通常，斜體字符的寬度必須與羅馬設計的寬度相同。Van Krimpen認為這嚴重損害瞭設計過程。
第二次世界大戰期間，荷蘭的入侵中斷瞭Bible項目的所有工作，最初的Haarlemmer從未投入生產。快進60年。
Dutch Type Library的Frank E. Blokland想要復刻最初的哈Haarlemmer，但這次是Van Krimpen所希望的。 Blokland重新詮釋瞭原始手稿，並創作瞭一款與Van Krimpen的最初概念盡可能匹配的字體。雖然Van Krimpen再也無法掌舵瞭，但對他作品進行的深入研究彌補瞭他的缺席。
其結果就是一個出色的包括三種字重的文本傢族，有互補的斜體設計和一整套小型大寫字母以及老式數字。Van Krimpen將為此感到自豪。
Haarlemmer is a recreation of a never-produced Jan Van Krimpen typeface that goes one step beyond authentic: it shows how he wanted it to be designed in the first place.
The original, drawn in the late 1930s, was created for the Dutch Society for the Art of Printing and Books and was to be used to set a new edition of the Bible, using Monotype typesetting. Hence the problem: fonts for metal typesetting machines like the Linotype and Monotype had to be created within a crude system of predetermined character width values. Every letter had to fit within and have its spacing determined by a grid of only 18 units. Often, the italic characters had to share the same widths as those in the roman design. Van Krimpen believed this severely impaired the design process.
The invasion of Holland in World War II halted all work on the Bible project, and the original Haarlemmer never went into production. Flash forward about sixty years.
Frank E. Blokland, of The Dutch Type Library, wanted to revive the original Haarlemmer, but this time as Van Krimpen would have intended. Blokland reinterpreted the original drawings and created a typeface that matched, as much as possible, Van Krimpen’s initial concept. While Van Krimpen’s hand could no longer be on the tiller, a thorough study of his work made up for his absence.
The result is an exceptional text family of three weights, with complementary italic designs and a full suite of small caps and old style figures. Van Krimpen would be proud.
