“Designed by August Dietz, Sr., of Richmond, Virginia, about 1927, for BB&S. It is an unusual adaptation of Old English, as though lettered with a broad pen divided into three parts, thus producing three parallel lines in all heavy strokes. The drawings were not suitable for making patterns, so Oswald Cooper was asked to redraw it. He did this grudgingly, as it was an arduous task on which he spent two months. Although it was an interesting novelty, used occasionally to good effect, not enough of it was ever sold to repay a fraction of the cost of production. Matrices apparently were destroyed when the foundry was taken over by ATF.” [McGrew 1993]
