“Of W. A. Dwiggins’ wartime experiments, the most successful was Eldorado, released by Mergenthaler in 1953. With unusual fidelity, Dwiggins followed an early roman lowercase, cut in the 16th century by Jacques de Sanlecque the elder, after Granjon. David Berlow, Tobias Frere-Jones, and Tom Rickner revived and expanded the series in 1993–94 for Premiere magazine, with versions not only for text and display, but a Micro for six point and smaller.” [Font Bureau, 1997]

The digital revival appears to be unavailable as of Feb. 2025.

Eldorado Micro might represent the first use of the term “Micro” for a retail family.
