eastwestdivide Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Looks like a good’un. Is there an odd low-slung hyphen in that title font? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any news of a publication date, please? I think the hyphen is set to align with the font in lower-case, hence its looking wrong 'when all about is upper'. As an appalling compositing pedant, if you could get it corrected it would please me greatly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold C126 Posted October 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2021 Suddenly occurred to me there could be another hyphen in "INTER-CITY", depending on how '1970's' Mr Gibbs wishes it to be. I think it was in the 1980's it became all one word, with a Swallow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was in the 1980's it became all one word, with a Swallow. The hyphen was dropped from Inter-City in March 1985 when it became InterCity. The swallow and the INTERCITY typeface were introduced from 1st May 1987 to celebrate the 21st Anniversary of the adoption of the name in April 1966 to coincide with the introduction of the full WCML electrified services between London Euston and Liverpool/Manchester.

I think two hyphens will be one too many but I’ll see about the existing one. Edited October 11, 2021 by acg5324 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted April 11, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2022 My copies have arrived, they didn’t move the hyphen up a bit…..it’s called design apparently. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
