Patented Sep. 17, 1895, by William P. Quentell for ATF
[Saxe 2015].
“Quentell was drawn for ATF’s Central Type Foundry
branch in St. Louis; it has been ascribed to N. J. Werner, but a
design patent was issued in 1895 to William S. Quentell,
advertising manager of Armour & Company of Chicago, for whom the
face was made. Two years later it was redrawn as Taylor Gothic by Joseph W. Phinney for ATF,
and later redesigned as Globe
Gothic […] Meanwhile, the original Quentell was slightly
modified as Quentell No. 2, and in that form continued
to be shown in specimens along with its altered forms.” [McGrew 1993]
Also sold by Pavyers
& Bullens, Ludwig &
Mayer (as Aequator), Shanks (Soverane Sans Serif), Stevens (Farringdon), AG für
Schriftgießerei u. M. (Pallas, before 1902), and
Theinhardt (Sempiterna, before 1900)
[Reichardt 2011].
