Exxon Qyx electronic typewriter wheel

Anthony Barnett

From a book I typeset in the early 1980s using an Exxon Qyx electronic typewriter interchangeable wheel font, whose name I cannot remember. Some of their fonts were well known but this one maybe a Qyx house font. Note that the typographers quotes and apostrophe in the attached sample were not on the wheel. They were made by typing, cutting out and pasting commas. Thank you for any help.

Font: 
Qyx's own so-called Boldface
Solved By: 

This typewriter wheel typeface could perhaps be based on some version of Garamond.

Thanks Don. Very possibly a Qyx house font so based. Anthony

Turns out to be Qyx's own so-called simply Boldface. Anthony
