So very bummed I lost that Alphabet Thesaurus Vol. 3 bid last fall. 😞 (image credit: Paul Plunger)
Garrison, thanks for pointing me to this! Great to see a confirmation for the Benguiat credit. I only checked the One Line Manual of Styles, not the AT3 from the same year. Although Cenotaph obviously is related to Calendar, it’s not listed under Benguiat’s name, in neither catalog. I guess he just drew too many faces to keep up with the credits!
If you ever need to have something checked or scanned from AT3, let me know. I’m happy to help.
Is there a higher quality of
(e-daylight.jp/fonts/type/c/…)
Also, if anyone knows — where did this image come from?
Reybach, there’s a digitization of the outlined style. I’d assume that Daylight Fonts used it for making the sample image. I’m adding another sample with higher resolution here.
The font doesn’t contain any information regarding author and date, other than that it was “generated by Fontographer 3.5”, i.e. after August 1992. Around this time, Photo-Lettering started digitizing a couple of their typefaces. I can imagine that this is one of these digitizations, and now is abandonware.
HOLY smokes. Thank you so much, Florian!!! I had asked because I was considering reviving that font itself, as I have no idea where to find the “anonymous digitization” which I now see is abandoned. I really am fascinated with Calendar + Cenotaph – it’s designed amazingly, IMHO. To summarize, my plan was to digitize the font by hand, shaded and outlined (maybe add a lowercase?) along with Cenotaph, and then release it at no cost. I feel if the design isn’t originally mine, then it shouldn’t be behind a paywall. Again, thank you so much for that image.
