Originated as Ornamented No. 43 by Conner of about 1857. Tangier is the name of a recutting used by Typefounders of Phoenix/Los Angeles Type Founders. [McGrew 1993] Patented only in 1881 which suggests that the 1857 date might be an error. [THP]

Phototype adaptations are shown as Tangier by Photo-Lettering [PLINC One Liner 1971], VGC [VGC 1972], and Solotype [Victorian Display Alphabets, 1976].

Digitally revived by Alan Jay Prescott as Tanglewood PDS (2015, unreleased?) [Type Heritage Project].
