“A three-dimensional all-cap font for title use,
Thorowgood Sans Shaded was released by the Fann Street
Foundry of W. Thorowgood & Co.
in 1839. Interestingly, it more closely resembles Figgins’
Four-Line Emerald Sans-Serif Shaded of 1833 than Fann
Street’s own Grotesque Shaded of 1834 (with light and
shadow reversed).” — HiH
This typeface was available from VGC as Sans Serifs
Shaded [N. Florendo] and from Letraset as Sans
Serif Shaded (with a Stephenson Blake credit). Photo-Lettering
offered Sanserif Shade Blockshadow A and B (the
former with thinner outline) and the grunged Batten
Shaded (2 styles).
In addition to HiH’s digital version named Thorowgood Sans
Shaded (used for the sample), there is also a freebie (of
poor quality) by

In addition to HiH’s digital version named Thorowgood Sans Shaded (used for the sample), there is also a freebie (of poor quality) by Dieter Steffmann. RMU’s Maszynista adds two styles and a lowercase, but its shadow is less pronounced. Pizzadude’s Ultinoid is a weathered variation.
