Designed by Dave Davison for Photo-Lettering, Inc. before 1950
[PLINC 1950]. Possibly based on a
19th-century design, compare the metal typefaces Vaudeville
(Tri-Arts Press, 1966) and
Carrousel (T.J. Lyons) [or is it the other way
around, and these are adaptations of Davison’s design?].
The series spans eight styles; A (outlined), B (solid), C (B w/
split shade), D (A w/ shade), E (D w/ inner contour, top half
solid), F (B w/ inner contour, similar to Filmotype Quentin, shown in PLINC’s
1967 Alphabet Yearbook, used for sample), G (F w/
hatched bottom half), H (C but w/ hatched shade, no lc).
