Thomas, I checked my American Specimen Book of Type Styles, American Type Founders Company, 1912 edition, and found no reference to Columbus. Is it possible that ATF dropped the font from their catalog so quickly? Was it known under another name? === Peter, Beaumarchais is a very awkward revival of the font. Deneane appears to be more faithful to the original, but I don't know of its provenance. Then again, if the latter is a knockoff of a contemporary, legitimate font, what is it a knockoff of? [rhetorical question] Neil
