A Latin with horizontal contrast introduced by Farmer in five styles:
Fashion (patented in 1876 by Andrew Little),
Fashion Condensed (c. 1880), Fashion Condensed No. 1
(ornamented, no lowercase, before 1887), Fashion
Antique (bolder and less contrast, designed by A.V. Haight
in 1887), and Fashion Extra Condensed (by Julius Herriet, Jr., advertised in The
Inland Printer of October 1891). [THP] [Reichardt 2011]
The Condensed was adopted for phototype by Headliners as part of
the Morgan Press Collection as F 243. Solotype had Fashion
Condensed and Condensed Ornamented (caps
only?). [Solo 1992]
Fashion Condensed and the ornamented
Condensed No. 1 were digitized by Alan Prescott in
2013 as Fastidious (caps only? unreleased?). The regular
style was digitized by Oliver More…
