[Hidden-tech] Fwd: * * * Font Identification * * *

[Deborah Chandler]

Hi Chris,

Ahhh, the good ol' days, when I marked up the manuscript with a red pen,
and sent it off to the typsetter via a bicycle courier through the streets
of Boston, and a few days later, I'd get the tissue galleys, approve them,
then receive the final photo papered ones, which I waxed and then attached
to Illustration Board #80. (got the right number?) Brings back some great
old memories...

But alas, I need to use this font for the headlines and folios throughout a
16-page booklet, so your suggestion, albeit it a good one, won't cut the
mustard this time. :-)

Best,
Deb
