An unauthorized copy of Georg Salden’s
Magnet, made at Brendel Type Studio in 1974 [Ph. Dada]
and expanded to 7 numbered weights
[c.1989 Brendel Informatik catalog]. Also known as Pasadena
Serial with additional outlined and shaded styles [undated
Typeshop Serials catalog]. Pasadena Heavy is roughly
equivalent to the original Magnet, but distinguished
by some details: ‘e’ has a sharp corner, ‘i’ dot is heavier,
terminals of ‘f’ and ‘r’ don’t flare, center of ‘w/W’ is much
shorter, terminals are vertical in ‘S’ and ‘9’ and horizontal in
‘?’, ‘k/K’ have a smaller gap betwen stem and legs, ‘$’ has a
single vertical bar, comma curves to the left.
Various digital versions, e.g. by FontBank, Weatherly Systems,
Font Company, Elsner+Flake, More…
