Sylvester A. Cypress
Designer of the phototype typefaces at Headliners such as Montauk (a script font), Polaris, Poynder, Siena, Tribune and Wembley. Those typefaces can be found in digital format in Joe Treacy's Treacyfaces collection: Tribune became Trantino at Treacyfaces and Triplett at Compugraphic. Richmond Oldstyle (Blackfriars Type Foundry, 1920s) influenced Cypress's Wembley---it became Wembley TF at Treacyfaces and Rowan Oak NF (Nick Curtis, 2007). Polaris appears based on Faust by Albert Kapr (1959)--it is Polaris TF at Treacyfaces. |
