I think that Grant Hutchinson can help you.

I love it.
Made by ICG in 1992.

Here is a screen shot.

As far as I know, Image Club offered the only digital version of Antikva Margaret. The digitization was rather quick-and-dirty, but I’d love to be able to redo it some day. I have a VGC specimen of the phototype version set at about 30pt, if that helps.

Can you scan that speciman and flick it through to me kris at klim dot co dot nz? I would really appreciate it!

I remember that one! Kinda made me think of Zapf Book after an accident.

Grant: if you redo it, you’ll have to do something about those curly braces. I’ve been drawing some of my own lately, and have been struck by how little attention they get in so many otherwise well-digitized faces.

Agfa sold it at one point. I have a roman and italic from the good old days. It was called Antikva ... Margaret isn’t present.

MissTiffany, could you please send me pdf or somesuch file?

I’d have a crack at remaking it, if anyone is interested. And I would make sure the curly braces are good, raph!

Kris, what are you doing with it? Do you just need a word typed, or are you trying to get a digital version?

To be honest, I am just fascinated by it. I don’t need it, I just want to look at it closely, feel it’s vibe, that sort of thing!

(Sorry I didn’t reply to your instant message, they don’t seem to work properly for me…)

FYI:
Antikva Margaret was a winner in the 1966 International Type Face Design Competition sponsored by Visual Graphics Corporation (VGC), maker of the Typositor filmsetting machine. It was designed by Zoltan Nagy of Hungary. I believe there is an effort to revive it by current Hungarian designers, not sure of who to contact.

Did anything ever come of this? Googling Antikva Margaret still brings up zip (except references to Typophile threads asking about it!)
