@letterformarchive This alphabet by #WADwiggins was repeatedly turned into a typeface. We are aware of
• Fast Lady D by Lettergraphics, 1970s
• Dwiggins Deco by Matt Desmond, MADType, 2009
• Dwiggins Initials KK by John Wollring, Koeiekat, 2012.
See Dwiggins Deco in use by @practise and Wayne Daly: https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/18171/dwiggins-deco
Collective entry for adaptations of an unnamed alphabet originally designed in 1930 by W.A. Dwiggins for the cover for Paul Hollister’s book American Alphabets. Lettergraphics had a film type version named Fast Lady D [Lettergraphics 1976]. Matt Desmond expanded Dwiggins’ alphabet into a full typeface as Dwiggins Deco (2009, used for sample). John Wollring made another interpretation named Dwiggins Initials KK (2012).
New fonts: Martina Plantijn.
Martina Plantijn is a better Plantin. Informed by the workhorse qualities of Frank Hinman Pierpont’s typeface and expanding upon his research of 16th century type at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Martina Plantijn makes decisive digital updates across its roman and italic cuts.

If you'd like to study a postgraduate type design course *for free*, **with a grant**, you have ten days left to apply for ANRT: https://anrt-nancy.fr/en/apply
And if you apply for the "Missing Scripts" research project, you will almost certainly get some work from me at the end of it...
