Photolettering foundry run by Marc Jones Barry Kimbrough in Culver City, CA. Russell Bean worked for the Los Angeles studio of Lettergraphics International in charge of lettering, logo design and converting type designs to film fonts. It was at this time (1973) that the Washington family (digital version at Type Associates, Russell Bean's present company) was completed. A psychedelic (art nouveau inspired) face called Cantini (1972) was digitally revived and expanded by Patrick Griffin as Salome (2007, Canada Type).
