Brandywine
appears in a 1968 Lettergraphics catalog and in their
New LetterGraphics Styles 1969. Also shown in
Phil’s Photo’s Homage to the Alphabet (1985) and, as
Liquor,
in an undated FotoStar catalog, both times with several alternates
(for ‘GIOSrsz&’). A very similar design is shown as Gonzales
Jeanette in Photo-Lettering, Inc.’s One Line
from 1971 (but not yet in Alphabet Thesaurus
Vol. 2 from 1965), credited to
Francisco Gonzales. The differences are most pronounced in some of
the capitals. It is not clear which came first.
Elvira Slysh created
Astron, a digital version based on Brandywine
including Cyrillics (ParaType/ParaGraph, 1991). In Astron,
the letters don’t join up. There is also a limited freebie by
Richard William Mueller, Brandy Script (1993).
