Electra
Designed by W.A. Dwiggins in 1935. Dean Allen [Textism]: A beautiful design by a master artist, imprisoned in a pale digital version. He is referring to Linotype's version of Electra, which is sub-par by any standard. Other versions include Transitonal 521 (Bitstream), Belen (Felix Lentino, 2001, T26), Elante, Illumna, Selectra, and Parkinson Electra (Jim Parkinson, 2010). |
