A close follower of Georg Salden’s Polo, made at
Brendel Type Studio in 1974 [Ph. Dada] and expanded to seven
numbered weights [c.1989 Brendel Informatik catalog]. Also known as
Glasgow Serial with additional outlined and shaded
styles [undated Typeshop Serials catalog]. Distinguished from
Salden’s original by overall narrower proportions and a number of
details: flatter shoulders, taller ‘g’ bowl, shorter ‘r’ flag,
straighter ‘s’ spine, shorter top of ‘t’, diagonal left terminals
in ‘u v w x y’, tapered bars in ‘E’ and ‘F’.
Various digital versions, incl. by FontBank (as
Palent, one Heavy weight,
1991), SoftMaker and TypeShop Collection (as
Glasgow Serial and TS Glasgow,
respectively, seven weights plus italics).
Red Rooster’s Glasgow/GlasgowRR was “re-tooled from
the QBF Collection” [MyFonts]

Red Rooster’s Glasgow/GlasgowRR was “re-tooled from the QBF Collection” [MyFonts] by A. Pat Hickson and Steve Jackaman in 1992, in five weights plus italics [FontShop]. Other sources date their version to 1997 [Identifont]. “Exclusively licensed from the Quick Brown Fox (QBF) Collection, Germany” and “completely redrawn and produced by Steve Jackaman (ITF) and Ashley Muir in 2010” [Red Rooster] as Glasgow Pro, with extended character set.
