A Victorian face with letterforms shown with perspective effect
on a banner. No lowercase, but with decorative end pieces. Origin
unknown. Caslon’s Scroll (1850) employs the same
concept, but has lighter letterforms with more contrast. [Gray:
Nineteenth Century Ornamented Typefaces]
Formatt’s version for dry transfer lettering is named
Banner. [1974 catalog] Phototype versions as
Ribbonette shown by Lettergraphics (1976), Castcraft
(1978), and Solotype. Banner as shown in a Face
catalog follows the same concept with slightly different
letterforms.
Various digitizations including Archive Ribbon (Archive Type, 2005),
Aridi80,
and Ribbons (WSI, 1992, low-quality). Pretoria Gross (Intellecta, 2009) has
a
Ribbon style that applies the concept to the letterforms of
Pretorian. See also More…
