I'm not sure whether I'm proud or embarrassed to have forgotten the name of this. :-)

Ok, I found a version of it named Quicky from Opti Fonts. What is the deal with that foundry? I know Mark Simonson was explaining what happened to them but it's still a bit of a blur to me.

Originally, this was a Letraset font called Quicksilver. Letraset never did a digital version of it that I know of. All the existing digital versions are knock-offs.

Opti-Fonts is part of Castcraft, a fairly old Chicago printing firm which is known to older typophiles for its Type Films of Chicago, which marketed a huge library of pirated film fonts.
