font used by Crane & Co.

This may have been a metal type for engraving. Has it been digitized?

attachment???

If it's the logo from their web site (http://www.crane.com/navDepartment.aspx?NavName=NavShop&DeptName=Clearan...) it's Trajan.

Are you talking about their logotype? That would be Trajan …

Ha, Patty! Despite the moratorium breach, still you beat me! :D

What's up with the "rss" always showing up instead of attachments? I reported the bug but it doesn't seem to have changed.

BTW - TDD - Trajan is not derived from a metal type, it's a new font based on ancient Roman letterforms.

actually, i can't seem to upload image... maybe i need flash 8.... and no, it's not their logo, it's just one of the alphabets they offer. they call it "classic condensed roman." very specific, huh?

The Crane logo is set in Goudy Trajan. You can tell that the ampersand is of a Goudy design.

That isn’t a bug, it’s a feature (and it’s quite a good one). You can keep track of the threads you want to by subscribing to the respective feed.
The RSS link is added to the first post of a thread.

I can’t imagine it’s connected to the issue of missing attachments.

Robert, are you sure?

You’re right that a lot of Goudy’s ampersands look similar—but Goudy Trajan (the CastleType version) of all those has a completely different one.

Patty - The "rss" link appears at the bottom of every new topic.

The orginal Monotype Goudy Trajan did not have an ampersand. Crane & Co. uses a Goudy Old Style ampersand. Look up the font and judge for youself. I am an old fart and I could be wrong.

Hi Robert,
unfortunately I don’t know where to look for a version of the orginal MT Goudy Trajan.

But then, why shouldn’t it be Carol Twombly’s Trajan?

Sorry, I got caught up with what came first— the chicken or the egg.
