Vogue by Intertype
My name is Gergő Kókai, I am a Type Design Master student at KABK in The Hague. I am currently researching the typeface called Vogue by Intertype. I have found mostly online specimens and a few printed ones but I was wondering if anyone has any information about this typeface or even has it as metal type by any chance? I would appreciate any information.
Hartelijk dank!
I suggest you to contact Maarten Renckens from the PXL Mad in Hasselt Belgium. http://artengar.com/en/intertype.html
They own an working Intertype machine and have a lot of information on these machines.
Another source could be the Industrial Museum in Gent Belgium. The Graphic Arts department owns several Intertype machines and has a collection of manuals and other documentation.
By mail I will send you some documentation on this subject.
Cant help you, but I noticed in the sample some characters are different in size 30 compared to size 20. Weird.
Good luck!
Ah, I now see the footnote about alternatives. Sorry.
Hi Elzo! Thank you for sharing your observation, this typeface was indeed sporting quite a few alternates trying to mimic other contemporary typefaces from that era.
Hello
There is, in fact, a set for sale from a chap in the US:
