Black Drum is contemporary designer type, made from the struck steel hammers of an Art Deco Period san serif face transferred from a mechanical 1926 custom editor Royal Portable typewriter.Anna Conroy of Type Heritage, LLC, Philadelphia comments on Black Drum and its new place in time today: “Wow! nice lookin’ face Joseph! —Perfect, somewhere between Cable; [Rudolph Koch, 1927] (which was about the first transatlantic telegraph cable) with its raised x-height; and Futura [Paul Renner, 1928].Yup, it has that great “Monopoly Game” question mark — and all on a period-piece typewriter! You should have no trouble grafting that sorely needed Euro symbol.” –And he very well did!Author: Joseph ConiglioProducer: Coniglio TypeMyFonts debut: October 2021
