Spotted at the Museum of Brands, London. In this board game, players can “join Robin Hood and his Merry Men”. It was issued as a tie-in product, capitalizing on the popularity of The Adventures of Robin Hood, a British TV series starring Richard Greene as the legendary heroic outlaw, which was broadcast weekly between 1955 and 1959 on ITV.
Robin Hood’s name is presented in hand-drawn Old English with colored initials. The accompanying typefaces are Grotesque No. 9 and Imprint Italic.
