Lawrence Welk – Go Away Little Girl album art
Moore Swash is not a full typeface, but rather a set of auxilliary swash glyphs, to be used to spice up Times Roman Bold. It comprises 37 uppercase and 14 lowercase glyphs. Designed by James H. Moore of Moore Computer fame, it was made available via VGC.
Here it’s used exclusively in caps for the title of a 1971 album by Lawrence Welk (1903–1992). The only non-swashy glyph is the second I. Chances are the typesetter didn’t bother with switching to plain Times and rather modified the swash I (or L) on the spot.
Welk’s name is set in Peignot Bold – also carried by VGC – and the track names in what appears to be Trade Gothic Bold Condensed. The logo of Welk’s record company, Ranwood Records, combines Fantail and Craw Modern, see the dedicated post.
