Optex

Designed by Philip Kelly and Bob Newman and released as dry-transfer typeface by Letraset in 1970 (Letragraphica issue 9) [Daines]. Some sources credit Michel Waxman as the designer, but that seems to be a mix-up with the similar Michel. Robert Trogman claims to have made a film version. A c. 1976 Fürst catalog shows a film version with alternates for ‘ACLSc’. The original Letragraphica version only included an alternate ‘S’.

Olympik is a digital revival with an inappropriate loose spacing.
