A vast series of obround gothics by Photo-Lettering. “Much the same sound design [as
Murray Hill Gothic] to which a touch of

two Open styles with two weights of outline [PLINC 1960]. With #1297, the Cond 9 (used

By 1971 the series had grown to eight subfamilies;
Lenox Hill Triple Cond (1 weight), Lenox Hill Ex Cond (12
weights plus open and shaded styles), Lenox Hill Cond
(13 weights plus obliques and contoured styles), Lenox
Hill (10 weights plus open and contoured styles),
Lenox Hill Wide (8 weights plus italics, open and
contoured styles), Lenox Hill Wide Casual (10 weights
