Seller's description:

"Trylon, as made by Baltimore Type was a 1949 copt of Stephenson Blake's Playbill (shown in specimen above). The solid version has lowercase in some sizes; it is similar to P.T. Barnum, with greatly exaggerated horizontal strokes and serifs at top and bottom, but is heavier and narrower."*
