Pekin

Some words from Solotype:

Designed by Ernst Lauschke in 1888 and issued by Barnhart Bros. & Spindler foundry in Chicago under the name Dormer.

It was revived in 1923 by the foundry with a new name, Pekin. We have “regularized” the face for modern use, but have included the changed characters as alternates.
