The Headliners International, Inc. was a phototype supplier founded in New York City in 1954 (a trademark was filed in 1961). Along with typefaces from other foundries, Headliners produced some of their own designs, as well as film reproductions of wood and metal type, and extensions of other existing fonts. Later typefaces in their catalogs were prefixed with the “neo-” trademark and these were often classic designs with a raised x-height à la ITC.
In the early 1990s, the Headliners library was acquired by Treacyfaces who has released digital versions of several fonts in the collection. [Mark Simonson]
