My digital recreation:
Very nice – I love such recreations!
Which version of ITC Avant Garde Gothic did you use? ITC’s current one has the right R without pointed joint.
You substituted Beton for Stymie, right?
There are so many digital versions of Blippo, but sadly none (to my knowledge) that has the glyphs used here, including a c and e.
Thanks, Florian!
It’s a fairly old and lousy digital version of Avant Garde Gothic, with no alternate glyphs at all. I’ll have to upgrade sometime.
It’s supposedly “Stymie XBd BT”.
And, yes, I’m not aware of those alternate glyphs in any digital version of Blippo.
