    <description>Dynamo Shadow in use. An extension of Dynamo, made at Letraset by Alan Meeks in 1977 [Daines]. Also appears in Mecanorma’s Graphic Book 14 (1988), with a Ludwig &amp;amp; Mayer credit (probably carried over from the plain Dynamo).

Digitizations from Letraset Fontek, ITF, ITC/Linotype, Elsner+Flake/URW (also as URW Dyana Shadow Bold).</description>
