Welcome to the nineteenth ‘What Face Wednesday’ metal typeface identification competition! This week I have decided not to add a proof of the typeface as it is a relatively easy offering but I am looking for the name of the typeface and its’ designer.
The prize is a choice of any two hand-printed letterpress greeting cards (including free International p&p) from the selection on my Typoretum website. All correct answers will be placed in a hat and one winner will be randomly drawn. To enter the prize draw, all you need to do is identify the typeface shown below and email your answer to me.
Congratulations to the winner of this week’s competition, Andy English, who correctly identified the typeface as Albertus. This typeface was designed by Berthold Wolpe and introduced by Monotype between 1932-40.
