A fanciful burlesque of an old face revival designed by Ross F. George after the principles of his mentor, William Hugh Gordon. It appears in Speedball lettering catalogues of the late thirties as Stunt Roman. This face is the culmination of Gordon’s style, stated in Cincinnati in 1918 as: ‘Use full round ovals - condense the vertical elements - and a slightly broken alignment adds to the unique appearance of the entire production.’ Revived in the late sixties by Paul Bailey at Lettergraphics as Forum Flair, a film font for headlines, the design was widely copied, with Letraset achieving the greatest popularity with their slightly more disciplined version, University Roman.
