It may be Thorne Shaded, but we called it Thorowgood Shaded. At least that’s how it was listed in the VGC catalog.

  1. Thank you, Roger.

    The secondary typeface appears to be Whitin Black Condensed.

    I don’t doubt that there was a Photo Typositor face named Thorowgood Shaded, and the solid Thorowgood and the open Thorne Shaded are matching twins, of course. But VGC didn’t list this face in their 1976 and 1982 catalogs, neither as Thorowgood Shaded nor as Thorne Shaded.
