Designed in 1937 by Berthold Wolpe the exclusively use at the
Fanfare Press, and cut at Monotype in 1939. Initially named Fanfare Bold
Condensed Italic Titling No. 2, it was later known as
Cyclone [Janus,
Fowler]. No lowercase. Jaspert and Reichardt credit the design to
“W. Ingram” — probably a mix-up with
Ernest Ingham, chairman of the Fanfare Press who commissioned the
typeface.
A.k.a. series 516. An earlier version, Fanfare Bold Condensed
Italic Titling (series 514) was destroyed in a bombardment
[Wikipedia].
Digitally revived and extended by Toshi Omagari in 2017 as Wolpe
Fanfare, adding four lighter weights plus an Inline style
which can be used for layering. The lowercase holds smaller
capitals. Includes Greek and Cyrillic. The sample shows Wolpe
Fanfare Black which comes closest to the original design.
