"Though Warren Chappell has designed numerous alphabets and assisted in the cutting of several type faces, the Lydian and Lydian Italic shown on these pages are the first cuttings of any of his own designs."--Page [2].
According to typography historian Luc Devroye (his website "On snot and fonts"), the Lydian typeface was first issued by American Type Founders Company in 1938.
