Member Geo… Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I've come across something I cannot identify in numerous American foundry books even though it is quite unusual. A metal caps-only font which I suspect is late 19th or early 20th century. No pin mark or other identifying marks. It has the usual nick and groove, although the groove is off-center and seems to be deeper than normal. Link to comment
Solution Member Kev… Posted March 29, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 29, 2022 Appears to have been called Fifth Avenue Monograms (ATF), according to this post on the WhatTheFont forum. 1 Link to comment

Member Geo… Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 @Kevin Thompson Thank you! It never occurred to me to look at monograms. The closest thing I finally found late last night was Head Letter No. 2 from Keystone. It appears to me the ATF monogram type was closely based on that design. Link to comment
