Sans Serif Shaded. [Millington 2002] “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

Ultinoid (Pizzadude, 2006) is a weathered variation. Maszynista (RMU, 2010) adds two styles and a lowercase, but its shadow is less pronounced. Borough Grotesk (Lewis McGuffie, 2017) offers a solid Fill style for 2-color effects.
