Jim Crow
During the 1850's, the Dickenson Type Foundry in Boston stole a typeface from a foundry in France, redesigned the M and modified the N, and named it Gothic Shade. American Type Founders (ATF), a business trust created by the merger of 23 type foundries (including the Dickenson Type Foundry) was established in 1892. With the merging of these foundries, came the merging of their catalogs. And with that came Jim Crow, the American Type Founders' 1933 and 1949 re-casting of the Dickinson Type Foundry's type of the 1850s, Gothic Shade. It has also been called Tombstone. Additional sizes were cut by Los Angeles Type Foundry. Digitizations include VTC Ruby by Tre Seals (2019). |
