Blair
A caps only wide copperplate sans style font by the Inland Type Foundry, ca. 1900. Mac McGrew: Blair was advertised in 1900 by Inland Type Foundry as new and original, calling it "an exact imitation of the small gothic letter now so popular with engravers for stylish stationery." Its production was continued by ATF until the 1950s. It is similar to Copperplate Gothic Light, but without the tiny serifs of that face. Litho Gothic is the same design but with lowercase. Mitchell is the same design but slightly heavier. The condensed version was produced in 1903 or earlier. Hansen copied Blair as Card Gothic No.2. Compare Lightline Gothic.. Mitchell was issued in 1906. Digital versions of Blair and Mitchell include ITC Blair (1997, Jim Spiece) and Mitchell NF (2015, Nick Curtis). |
