During a trip to the US in 1976, I saw a lot of round topped capital "A"s. Hadn't seen anything quite like them
at home so, decided to try them for myself. Ended up with a very useful face; animated, chunky and uses
suprisingly little length for so bold a face.

Good for applying blended shade
treatment. (More accurately,
blended blocking and counter-
shadow).
Countering was one of the few
occasions I saw drop shadow (as
opposed to shading) used before
vinyl plotters came on the scene.
