Designed by Milton Glaser in 1964 (or 1966 [The Push
Pin Graphic, 2004], inspired by a hand painted sign in
Mexico City. Also spelled Babyteeth. Lettering
execution by George Leavitt [Milton Glaser: Graphic
Design, 1973]. Glaser used the design for his famous
Bob Dylan
poster in 1967.
Adopted by Photo-Lettering as Glaser Baby Teeth in
eight variants; Line (straight hairline notches), Opaque (no
counters), Dotted (dotted counters), Baroque (curved notches), each
in solid and outlined versions. Several alternates (for ‘SLMT7’,
but also ‘E’, ‘G’ and maybe more), but no lowercase [PLINC One Liner 1971]. Also carried by
Hollenstein Phototypo [1974 catalog]. Letraset’s adaptation (used
for sample) was made before 1976 [Modern
Publicity] and is similar to Glaser Baby Teeth
Line.
In Feb 2021, P22 released an official
digital version of all eight styles, produced by Richard Kegler:
