I don't know if there is a digital version, but it was called Turtle.

I've got a 1974 Letraset catalogue that calls it "Turtle".

This is really cool. Wish there was a digital version. Look at that "T"!

I'm smelling a fontstruct opportunity :-)

Does anyone have a good scan of the entire alphabet? I'm working on a fontstruct version :-)

What's the name of the catalogue? Are those catalogues hard to find?

Would be great if someone could scan the font. I was thinking about creating a digital version too!

It would most likely be the Letraset catalogue, showing which fonts were available as rub-down lettering. I have a 1985 version, but unfortunately Turtle isn't in it :-(

It must have come and gone fairly quickly. None of the Letraset catalogs or brochures I have (and I have lots, going back to the Seventies) shows it.

I only was able to ID it because it's listed in Dan X. Solo's catalog. Letraset was never in the film font business (as far as I know), yet all their fonts wound up in film font libraries.

The M's pretty special too.

Getting back to this thread as I have a question:

Has anyone found a catalogue or know someone who maybe got one?

Thingy said it was in a Letraset catalog from 1974. I've got a lot of old Letraset catalogs and brochures from back then, but not one that shows Turtle. Apparently, Thingy has (or had) one.
