Narciss
Mac McGrew: Narciss is an adaptation by Linotype in 1925 of Narcissus, designed by Walter Tiemann in 1921 for the Klingspor foundry in Germany, based on a typeface which Fournier had cut about 1745. It is a fairly heavy shaded roman, very similar to Cameo and Gravure, and somewhat similar to Caslon Shaded, Caslon Openface, Goudy Open, etc. (q.v.). This typeface is rather wide, and the white line that gives the shaded effect is narrow. Each size is undersize, about as big as the next smaller size should be. |
