Shown in Berthold’s 1896 Neuheiten-Probe as Alexandra. Appears to be a copy of Washington (Central, c.1886), but as bicolor set consisting of Konturbuchstaben (outline) and Eindruckbuchstaben (solid fill), and with some changes. Most notably, middle bars in ‘E’ and ‘F’ are short, terminal in ‘L’ doesn’t ascend as much, ‘M’ is wider and has a base middle serif, ‘W’ has descenders with diagonal serifs and a top middle serif, ‘4’ has no top serif. The outline style is shown in Petzendorfers Schriftenatlas (1903–1905). No lowercase.

Berthold also had a solid style with lowercase under the name Washington. It exhibits the same differences in the capitals, and also is different from Central’s Washington in the lowercase. [1909 specimen] The versions sold by Stempel and Lehmann (with Cyrillics) as Washington appear to be based on Berthold’s.

Photo-Lettering had a film version as Hoop Skirt Outline [PLINC 1960] and later renamed it to Alexandra. [PLINC One Liner 1971] Shown by Typeshop and Berthold as Alexandra Initialen [Typeshop 1973] [Berthold 1974] and in Headliners’ Morgan Press Collection as MP 349. Shown by Lettergraphics in outlined and solid styles as Andra Caps [Lettergraphics 1968–1975] [Lettergraphics 1970], by Castcraft as Alfie [Castcraft 1978], and by Solotype as Washington Antique [Solo 1992].

Mephisto (Scriptorium, 1993) is a digital version with solid letters, a severely limited character set, and faux small caps in place of a lowercase. Thuvia (Michael Lee, 1999) is an amateur digitization based on the titles of the Edgar Rice Burroughs paperback series by Ace.
