“Curtis Post was produced by ATF in 1902 for the
Saturday Evening Post magazine of Curtis Publishing
Company, but soon released to printers in general. It is based on
Post
Oldstyle Roman No. 2, a style which previously had been
handlettered for headings in the magazine. Like many fonts of the
day, it contained several alternate characters and logotypes. Some
specimens hyphenate the name as Curtis-Post.
Curtis Shaded Italic was cut in 1910; it is uncertain
whether this is the same as Post Shaded Italic.
Compare the various Post faces.” [McGrew 1993].
