Bookman Swash, recently digitised by Jason Walcott as Jukebox Bookman

Thank you.

ITC seem to have the family. I remember disliking this font hugely many years ago, and avoiding it if possible. It has got better!

From the latest instalment of Bald Condensed:
"(...) I’d like to quickly point you all to another typeface often requested on the Typophile Type Identification Board that has finally made the transition to digital. Bookman Swash — not the wimpy blandified ITC version, but “the swashy original” — is boasted by Veer to be “the most comprehensive digital revival of the original ’70s delicacy”. Although I haven’t had the opportunity to test it, Jason Walcott’s Jukebox Bookman looks like it’s the real deal. It has all the vintage traits of the original Bookman — moderate x-height, higher contrast, obliques instead of italics — and the alternates are simply swashalicious."

In other words, the ITC Version is not very good. :^/

We are agreeing on this.
