Electra
This is W.A. Dwiggins’ personal version of the Transitional roman, designed for C.H. Griffith at Mergenthaler.
Electra
Venecian Old Face fonts had a strong influence on typeface design in the 1930s and 1940s in England. Such influence is evident in the font Electra, designed by William A. Dwiggins for Linotype in 1935. Electra combines its classic roots with the Zeitgeist of the 1930s, also displaying characteristics of the Bauhaus and Art Deco styles.
