Imyra, Tayra, Ipy, Taiguara is the eleventh album of Brazilian singer-songwriter Taiguara Chalar da Silva (1945–1996). It features the arrangements made by Taiguara himself and Hermeto Pascoal and appearances of many prominent MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) heroes: Toninho Horta, Wagner Tiso, Novelli, Zé Eduardo Nazário, Paulo Braga, Nivaldo Ornelas, etc. The album was named after Taiguara’s family.
Imyra, Tayra, Ipy, Taiguara was released by EMI-Odeon in 1976 and was banned within 72 hours after its release by the military dictatorship. The copies were collected from stores and destroyed.
The album cover shows the rare Quirinale typeface in both weights.

I actually like this font. Unfortunately, it has massive weaknesses when it comes to punctuation: no bottom quotation marks that match the ones above; as well as guillemets, which are set too narrowly in the bold font style, which makes the gray value appear too dark.
Which font are you referring to? The original Quirinale as it was available from Mecanorma? RibaldEncounter, the digitization by Silver Graphics? Or Canada Type’s Gallery, a reconstruction based on 14 letters from Quirinale?
Okay, that wasn’t specific. My text referred to the Gallery. But the original with the slight curves is even better.
The Quirinale font seems still exist in Japan. – All other questions I have already answered with another entry, which has not been released yet.
I see, thanks.
While Daylight Fonts does offer a number of digital fonts, the Typefaces section that you linked to is not a catalog of available fonts. It’s rather a database of typefaces that Shin Oka, the proprietor, finds interesting in one way or another. It includes both old and new designs, but the majority – like Quirinale – is from predigital days.
