Hello,

I recently had a look through a printers spec book from the 50s/60s and found this interesting display face called 'Novel Open'. Does anyone know if it's been digitised? I've googled it but you get a lot of results for those two terms!

I haven't seen that specific face (I wish I had), but these two are similar:

It's great isn't it? It was from a type spec printed by Desmond Jeffery. I had the distinct privilege to inspect his archive recently for a show of his work I'm curating. Truly amazing typography and press work!
