Herbus in use. A medley of various typefaces by Herb Lubalin. Herbus (Sep. 2019) largely (but loosely) follows ITC Busorama, with some elements borrowed from ITC Avant Garde Gothic (e.g. ‘M’, ‘Q’) and ITC Serif Gothic (‘D’). Herbus Bold (April 2020, used for sample) is bolder than Busorama’s boldest weight and hence is closer in feel to Serif Gothic Heavy. No lowercase. See Herbus Pointy for a variant with flare serifs, added in April 2022.

Lydian in use. Released by ATF in 1938–40, with Bold Condensed styles following in 1946 [Reichardt 2011]. In addition to the italic styles, there is also a calligraphic Lydian Cursive. The Smithsonian has drawings for an unreleased Extra Bold which seemed to predate the other styles [Frere-Jones via email]. The University of Amsterdam also holds drawings, proofs, and correspondence (dated 1953–55) for Light and Bold “Capella” intended to be Typefoundry Amsterdam’s adaptation of Lydian [UvA]. Digitizations by Bitstream (Roman, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Cursive) and Monotype (Roman and Cursive). The condensed styles have been revived as Lydia (Colophon, 2013).
Wulkan in use. Released as Wulkan Display in 2019. “Drawing its inspiration from the works of Charles E. Heyer, Herb Lubalin, Tom Carnase, among others. Designed by Jan Estrada-Osmycki between 2015 and 2019.” [TDF] In October 2024, the family was renamed Wulkan, after being redrawn and extended to a family in three optical sizes, each in eight weights plus italics.
Microgramma in use. Predecessor of Eurostile. The metal original was released without a lowercase, in five (upright) styles: Microgramma, nera (bold), larga (extended), nera larga (bold extended, shown), stretta (condensed). [Reichardt 2011]

History in use. “Based on a skeleton of Roman inscriptional capitals, History includes 21 layers inspired by the evolution of typography. These 21 independent typefaces share widths and other metric information so that they can be recombined. […] Conceived and designed by Peter Biľak, published in 2008. With help of Eike Dingler, Ján Filípek, Ondrej Jób and Ashfaq Niazi. In 2013, Ilya Ruderman designed the Cyrillic and Greek version.” — Typotheque
