Designed by Milton Glaser in 1964 (or 1966 [The Push

List] Also spelled Babyteeth. Lettering execution
by George Leavitt. [Milton Glaser: Graphic Design,
1973] Glaser used the design for his famous Bob Dylan
poster in 1967.
Adopted 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.
[One Line catalog, 1971] Several alternates (for
‘SLMT7’,
but also ‘E’, ‘G’ and maybe more), but no lowercase. Also carried
by Hollenstein Phototypo. [1974 catalog] Letraset’s adaptation was
made before 1976 [Modern
Publicity] and is similar to Glaser Baby Teeth
Line.

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).
