About This font would be instantly recognizable if it were expanded one-and-a-half times: it?s the ever-popular, irrepressible Latin Wide. But before there was the wide version, there was the not-so-wide version, and it got a lot of mileage during the 50s. Suitable for murder mystery titles, travelogues and beatnik poetry. And thanks to Maynard G. Krebs for the name (the G., by the way, stands for Walter).
