A film typeface of unclear origin, made in the 1970s. Shown in
the Solotype catalog (used for sample) and in the Art Deco
Display Alphabets book, with
several alternates. Other phototype catalogs show additional
alternates. Carried by Castcraft under the alias
Eager.
In the early 1990s, Gary Elfring (Elfring Fonts) created a
digital version in four variants, with many modified glyphs, based
on samples he saw. [P. Concannon,
John Downey] “Terranova
One NF (Nick’s Fonts) is a revival but lacks many of the
alternate characters. Earth Normal (Elfring) is very
similar.” [Solopedia]
