Amelia was originally issued by VGC around 1966. The outlined and shaded variant used for the title isn’t an ad-hoc modification, but was offered as a ready-made option by Photo-Lettering. The typesetting studio in NYC also carried an open variant as well as a custom X-Bold weight.
Photo-Lettering’s Amelia range as shown in their One Line Manual of Styles (1971), alongside Cucumber, an adaptation of a design that originated at Schaedler. T* stands for “Typeface or equivalent – non-exclusive”, while A* denotes a “Handlettered addition to type family”.
