Designed by Milton Glaser in 1964, inspired by a hand
painted sign in Mexico City. Glaser used the design for his
famous Bob
Dylan poster in 1966. Later (1971?) produced by Photo-Lettering
as Glaser Baby Teeth in 8 variations; Line (straight hairline notches),
Opaque (no counters), Dotted (dotted counters), Baroque (curved
notches), each in solid and outlined versions. Several alternates
(for ‘SLMT7’,
but also ‘E’, ‘G’ and maybe more), but no lowercase. Letraset’s
version is similar to Glaser Baby Teeth Line.
No official digital version exists, but Paratype’s
Bebit is a close approximation with the
addition More…

No official digital version exists, but Paratype’s Bebit is a close approximation with the addition of Cyrillic and is used for the sample. For a digital interpretation of the Baroque style, see Aint Baroque NF (Nick’s Fonts, 2009).
