This is ’Gradl’ a Microsoft TrueType font that was done by Font Bureau in the mid-90’s. Based on an all-caps Art Nouveau design by M. J. Gradl.

Nice, Mike. Where did you gather that info? Perhaps Maigret is that Gradl design?

Hmm. Sample text seems to be broken for that font, Stephen.

Are you trying to set lowercase? It’s an all caps font with an alternate ’S’ in the lc slot.

ITC Stoclet is a simplified face in this vein.

Sheesh. That was it, Stephen. :^\

Stephen,

I have the Microsoft True Type Mac collection that included it. The booklet gives fairly good details about the origin. The lower case was designed to complement the original typeface which was apparently only upper case.

There are a number of adaptations of the Gradl design (shown in the Dover book by Ludwig Petzendorfer): Swaak Centennial (Mecanorma), Maigret (Panache); Reynolds Caps (Intecsas/Rakowski), Santini (Canada Type); Sarah Caps (Sam Wang); and Pigalle (Solotype Catalog)

Thank you very much, I will hunt this down.

Here is a list of the Microsoft products that Gradl was bundled with.
