    <title>News Gothic Extended in use</title>
    <link>https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/97517/news-gothic-extended</link>
    <description>News Gothic Extended in use. Made by Intertype in two weights in 1961. [McGrew 1993] The lighter weight is similar to Monotone Gothic (ATF, 1907), but even wider. Trade Gothic Extended (Linotype, 1959) is virtually identical, apart from a few differences. The ‘Q’ tail doesn’t cross the circle. In the Bold, ‘J’ ends in a curve and terminals in ‘ace’ and the numerals are angled, not horizontal. No known digitization.</description>

<blockquote>
<p>The Soulful Strings were an American soul-jazz instrumental group formed in Chicago in 1966. Predominantly a studio band, the project was created and led by Richard Evans, a staff producer and musical arranger with the Chess Records subsidiary Cadet Records. […] Between 1966 and 1971, the Soulful Strings released six studio albums, all recorded at Chess’s Ter Mar Studios, and one live album.</p>

It features “Zorba’s Dance” from the motion picture <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek_(film)"><cite>Zorba the Greek</cite></a> (1964), starring Anthony Quinn.</p>

<p>The big type is Paul Renner’s <a href="http://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4070/futura-display"><strong>Futura Display</strong></a> (1932), which was named Futura Schlagzeile (“Headline”) in Germany. In the US, it also circulated as Airport Tourist. This copy made by Baltimore was cast from electrotyped mats derived from the German foundry type.

<p>The small sans serif appears to be <a href="http://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/97517/news-gothic-extended"><strong>News Gothic Extended</strong></a>. This wide variant was made in two weights by Intertype in 1961 and seems to be unavailable in digital form.
