Some form of Windsor?

I happen to like it for reflecting a certain time period around the Arts & Crafts era.

I just used it a few months ago.

when I first started back in the 1980's we had a 4B with Helvetica, Helvetica bold, Helvetica condensed, Tabasco and Windsor. it was the only font that didn't make me want to totally vomit and I used it for all quick "fancy" vinyl work. I grew to hate it with a passion as I longed for a choice of nice looking fonts. there isn't anything wrong with it, it was just like eating chicken every night. after a while you get to really hate chicken. I think I mentally blocked it as I looked at it, it felt like I should know it but I was able to totally forget it. thanks Green Mountain Plaza for stirring up old repressed memories!

I think mine was Microgramma or Eurostile. Another one that folks seemed to really buy into back then was Antique Olive.
