An alphabet by Walter Haettenschweiler shown in Lettera
3, 1967 (Aa–Zz, without ‘j’). The compact design with
horizontal contrast appears to draw inspiration from 19th-century
wood type, see Gothic Bold.
Phototype adaptations shown by Photoscript [Photoscript 1970], Typeshop [ca. late 1970s
catalog], and Solotype (as Bacardi Condensed). [1992
catalog] Vancouver Bold (Typeshop, ca. 1973) appears
to be a derivative. Benguiat Priscillas (Photo-Lettering,
before 1971) is similar.
Lucas Liccini made a private digitization in 2020 as part of his
Revivals &
Renditions student project at UdK Berlin. Emma Kouassi
made another academic digitization, with an extended
character set (ZHdK, 2022, unreleased). Also provided
inspiration for More…
