Wedding Text
A textura blackletter typeface By Morris Fuller Benton (1901, ATF). Mac McGrew: Wedding Text is a light Old English face, designed by Morris F. Benton and cut by ATF in 1901. It is recorded that the 12-point size was cut in type metal in that year, instead of cutting punches or engraving matrices directly. Electrotype matrices were then made from these cuttings. It is uncertain whether this new method of cutting delicate typefaces resulted in unusual problems and delays, but the typeface was hailed as "new" in 1907 and again in 1909. It has been copied by Monotype under the same name, by Linotype as Lino Text, and by Hansen and Ludlow as Society Text, all virtually the same. Wedding Text Shaded was also designed by Benton, and cut by ATF about 1913. Compare Engravers Old English, Invitation Text, Plate Text. Digital revivals:
