About Caravan™ Borders #2 ...

Linotype usage sample for Caravan™ Std Borders #2
Designer: William A. Dwiggins, 1938
Caravan™ Borders #2 belongs to the Caravan™ Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
Caravan was designed in 1938 by William Addison Dwiggins and consists of a variety of ornaments. He based the forms of the ornaments on the same lines and curves found in his font Electra. He wanted printers and designers to have the chance to combine the two fonts for a more attractive or outstanding overall picture. Caravan is particularly popular for advertisements in newspapers. Caravan can be easily mixed with other fonts designed by Dwiggins.
