Chic
A typeface designed by Morris Fuller Benton in 1927. Mac McGrew: Chic is a novelty typeface designed by Morris Benton in 1927 and released by ATF the following year. It has no lowercase; its thin lines are very delicate and its normally thick lines are opened with two parallel white lines. The result is airy but very mechanical. The 48-point size was cut but no showing has been found; in fact the series was not shown at all in specimens appearing as early as 1931. Compare Boul Mich, Broadway, Gallia. Digital revivals include Chic (Dan Solo), Odalisque NF (2009, Nick Curtis) and Odalisque NF Stencil (2010, Nick Curtis). |
