@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

Dwiggins Deco in use

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).
