Brathwaite designed his poems using Mac system fonts in the late 80's/early 90's (either from system 6 or 7). I've scavenged through old Apple users manuals and haven't been able to find it. Please help!

Would love the name of this font. Don't necessarily need a digital version of the  font; a font that closely resembles it could work too. Thank you!

Sorry I couldn’t be of help. It surely isn’t a system font. Possibly a Brathwaite’s original creation (see also “Finding the Self in Font: The Poetry of Edward Kamau Brathwaite”).

Thanks for trying @Riccardo Sartori! Anything come to mind that loosely resembles it?

I would consider the option just to replicate it—as it’s just pixels. https://fontstruct.com

@Ralf HerrmannI forgot about Fontstruct! Excellent idea. Thank you...
