Old Gothic Bold Italic

Issued in the 1950s [Penrose], Vette Antieke Cursief is Amsterdam’s revision of Fette Kursiv-Grotesk with a straight-legged ‘R’ and equalized ‘ij’ dots. Known in English-speaking markets as Old Gothic Bold Italic.

Offered in phototype by VGC with much tighter spacing (used for sample).

The closest digitization is Flight Center Gothic, based on 1962 drawings by Eero Saarinen. See also digitizations of Fette Kursiv-Grotesk.
