I read somewhere semi-recently that they changed the name of saginaw or something. Let me find it for you......

*searches dafont, will edit this in a bit*

Found this in the forums:

Actually, Robert Evans created Saginaw, which he had formerly named Laramie, around 1960. The Headliners studio then also had two other related designs – Sherbrooke, and Cranbrooke – now long retired and folded into Laramie. All were outgrowths of ‘Ruling Pen Script’ headlines he and other Headliners studio artists had created for ad headlines for ad agencies mostly located in New York City.

Originally, there was only the Light weight, and he was so fond of the design, he used it for the Headliners logo lettering.

During the 1970s, Headliners reworked much of their type collection into what they reintroduced as Headliners neo-PhotoTypes. Laramie was marketed as neo-Laramie. By the early 1970s, there were three weights: Light, Medium, Bold.

Robert himself decided, around 1992, to rename the typeface neo-Laramie as Saginaw, for reasons that I suppose made sense at the time. This was as older phototype foundries were updating their collections in digital form.

The important thing to be aware of is that it’s the same design. It was Headliners itself which chose to reintroduce the design for the digital age, with a new name.

When Treacyfaces took over Headliners in 1995, we renamed Saginaw as TFSaginaw. It was Robert’s desire that the Headliners collection be blended into the Treacyfaces collection and marketed as one. So, Headliners designs took on our naming structure.

In 1995, I started redrawing and adding things not in the first digital version of Saginaw that Headliners released in 1992. We released several new versions of the Light, Medium and Bold between 1995 and 2001.

But in the UK and Europe, many Mac-based customers who purchased Saginaw actually got Headliners' 1992 version, which was quite buggy and had an incomplete Western encoding character set, because some resellers active then that Headliners had prior relationships with, continued to give their customers the buggy versions. Despite that we immediately had fixed the data that Headliners had created in 1992 and made the resellers aware of its availability.

Headliners themselves starting in 1992 to digitize their faces, had only made and offered Mac PS Type 1 versions, never PC versions.

Any Headliners Saginaw customers out there still using the 1992 version with an ‘H’ logo icon, really should contact us for an upgrade.

As near as I can tell, the knockoffs of Saginaw that are regularly posted were cloned from Headliners' buggy 1992 version, not our 1995 and later versions.

I also feel badly for anyone who has chosen to use one of those clones, then, for obvious reasons.

By 2003, I completed new weights: Extrabold, Heavy, Black, Extra Black, Solid, and Ultra. There are also outline shadow versions whose weight names we call Sleek One, Sleek Two and Sleek Three.

So, TFSaginaw now has 12 varieties, and I'm pleased to be able to bring forward very faithfully, this landmark type design and family.

Also, found the site where you can find it... I don't know if there's a download link there or what, but I can't seem to find it on dafont anymore. If I had some way to upload a zip file somewhere, I'd get it to you myself!!

Hello, all -

since you're asking for it by name, I can tell you're interested in the genuine TFsaginaw.

Not the knockoffs floating around.

thank you.

Since one of your members was kind enough to grab and provide you with an edit of a post I made recently on myfonts.com regarding TFSaginaw, I find it kind of incredible that you're apparently still intent on stealing it.

Please refrain from stealing and posting treacyfaces/headliners fonts, won't you?

I don't at all like to be melodramatic, but every time you steal a commercial font, you're literally taking the food right out of the mouth of a type designer or rights holder.

right now, if you haven't purchased tfsaginaw from us today (and no resellers are currently allowed to sell it), you've robbed me and my business.

I'd like to buy a decent used car to get through the winter with, but that's not in the cards right now, because our fonts get stolen so much. it costs money to run a business.

Since we started in 1984, We have always tried to price our fonts reasonably, and we've always given discounts to students to make it very easy to obtain our fonts.

I realize that some of you might recoil at my listing how TFSaginaw is available at treacyfaces.com, but it appears to me that some of you need some hand holding to get used to the practice of properly purchasing fonts for use.

Here is how tfsaginaw is available at treacyfaces.com in its highest quality form:

TF Saginaw 007501 Light, US$29.
TF Saginaw 007502 Medium, $29.
TF Saginaw 007503 Bold, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750121 Extrabold, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750222 Heavy, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750323 Black, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750131 ExtraBlack, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750232 Solid, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750333 Ultra, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750241 SleekOne, $29.
TF Saginaw 00750342 SleekTwo, $29.

Of course, purchases of more than one at a time start bringing the per font price down immediately. 2 fonts are us$47., 3 fonts are $69., and so on. There are many bundles for TFsaginaw.

If anyone is confused about the differences between commercial and other kinds of fonts, I'm happy to discuss it with you. Please e-mail me if you'd like.

Thanks very much for your interest in TFsaginaw, the genuine article.

Please stop stealing and posting commercial fonts. If you don't know whether a font is commercial or freeware, please stop and find out first. And then remove the commercial ones from your uploads.

We are here to serve and to advance typography. We frown on being stolen from.

To those here who do not post or steal fonts, thank you and apologies.
