There's a very nice book about the Ikarus system:

Peter Karow, "Digital Formats for Typefaces", URW Verlag, Hamburg, 1987. ISBN 3-926515-01-5. There is a basic overview of digital type format concepts in the beginning 100 or so pages, and great detail about Ikarus for the rest of the text. There is some comparison with other commercial formats, but since this predates the publishing of Adobe's Type 1 format, there's not a lot of meat there.
