Font times (recurrent/surfacing)

Using Optima a lot these days, in mind because (as far as I know): my 1968 best of SIMULATION magazine compilation is set in it, so is A˙BACUS #80 (Feb, 1984)- Rosemary Waldrop's Cornered Stones Split Infinities. (sometimes have to push it away from drifting towards Papyrus, or some 'native american' idea)
The A˙BACUS flag is set in Face Photosetting's Stack, which was surely available as Letraset dry transfers by the time they started. Michel Waxman's Oxford, another Face Photosetting font that made it to Letraset, I think at the same time, I know from Nyman's Experimental Music: but probably wasn't rubbed-on the dust-jacket films.
