\u2022 “That mysterious font is Festive, not Stymie.” Ray Newman<\/a> goes looking for a typeface that immediately says “Britain in the 1950s”.

Today I know it as the slab serif named Profil<\/a> (aka Decorated 035<\/a>), although as Newman demonstrates, this is only one of several slab-serif variants popular in the 1950s and 60s.<\/p>\n
