There is only one glyph in this font, the lower case a. If you are using it in a document, set your margins at 0.3 inches or less, or you won't be able to type the glyph at 72 points.

Myron "Grim" Natwick, (1890-1990),  invented Betty Boop in 1930, for the Max Fleischer cartoon Dizzy Dishes. He was one of the pioneers of animated films, and he was also the lead animator for Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The original drawing used for this font was presented as a gift to Reg Hartt of Toronto, Canada, who is, perhaps, the foremost authority on classic animated films. Reg runs the CineForum, a small, intimate theatre located in the living room of his home.

If you are in Toronto, look for notices of his film schedules on telephone poles and building sites around town. An evening at the CineForum is an experience not to be missed, when you are in our fair city. Many thanks to Reg, for putting this graphic on one of his flyers, from which I made the scan.
