    Headline Gothic with and without descendersFYI: Photo-Lettering Inc. calls this one “Headline Gothic without descenders” (from the Vol 3, also in the One-Line).

    Thank you, Ben. I have added this info to the typeface page.

    The original name of Ludwig & Mayer’s foundry typeface was “Headline” – it was marketed as part of the Permanent family, but the name initially didn’t include that part. It offered alternate glyphs with descenders.
