A mysterious face indeed. It is known to have been designed by its namesake, Douglas McMurtrie, and appears in specimen in his 1926 book Alphabets — otherwise it’s pretty obscure. Some specimens show points and figures that appear incompatible with the caps. In 2008 we did a first casting of just the caps. The points and figs are included in this proof of the second casting,and in this cutting they look fine.
