Seller's description:

"Glamour is the Monotype copy, released in 1948, of Corvinus, designed by Imre Reiner for Bauer Type Foundry in Germany about 1930. Its dazzling thick-and-thin contrast and stylized features were quite popular for a time. A note in Monotype literature hints at its delicacy: 'When casting this series use extreme care.' Italic and condensed versions of foundry Corvinus have been grouped under the  Glamour name by some typographers, but were not made by Monotype. Compare Eden. "

* Mac McGrew, "American Typefaces of the Twentieth Century", Second Revised Edition, p. 153

NOTE: Harvested from the private collection of Dave Churchman, APA 308. You may have seen this font in the chaotic background of the letterpress documentary, "Pressing On".

Thanks!
Gretchen
