Onyx
Onyx was designed by Gerry Powell for ATF in 1937. It is a modernization of Modern Roman Bold Extra Condensed, and is virtually an extra condensed version of Ultra Bodoni. Mac McGrew: Linotype classifies the typeface with Poster Bodoni, their equivalent to Ultra Bodoni. Onyx Italic was designed by Sol Hess for Monotype in 1939, and is made as mats only by that company. Onyx is also cast by the Amsterdam foundry as Arsis. Digital versions include Onyx (Bitstream), Onyx (Monotype), Onyx (Tilde), OPTI Onyx (Castcraft), and Onyx MT (Adobe). In this selection, Bitstream's version stands out because it less condensed and has a round left lobe of the lower case a---not Monotype's squishy "a". View various commercial Onyx typefaces. |
