Member Gec… Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Does anyone on this forum please know of a good digital version of Tiffany Heavy Swash. I have searched for one for years with no luck. I am aware of the font created by Nick Fonts called Emfatick (not even close). Also Cabernet Swash (again not even close). Finally I heard that Daylight Fonts were working on a digital version, but that was way back in 2014. So far nothing and it was such a lovely piece of design, Ed Benguat was probably the originator, but I saw Herb Lubalin do wonderful things with it. So I'd love to find it, failing that I will have to create myself from the images I have collected over the years) just trying to save myself a lot of work and eye strain). Link to comment
Member Gre… Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Cabernet Regular might be something like it. (Ok should have read your entire post by bad) Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Greg Cabernet is not even close, it's more like a Caslon. Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 But thanks for trying. Link to comment
Member Flo… Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Alan Prescott made a digitization as Tiffany Swash Heavy in 1995. I don’t know if it’s available for licensing, but you could try asking, he’s on Facebook. Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Florian thank you so much for directing me to Alan Prescott, he has some magnificent work, I sent him a message on facebook and am waiting for his reply. Exciting stuff. Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Florian - Alan Prescott got in touch with me, he has a version he did back 30 years ago which unfortunately doesn't have a full range of swashes, back then it was CompuGraphic. He's a great guy and has done some amazing work. He's going to explore the idea of revitalising the project. Lets see what happens. 1 Link to comment
