Arcadian was first produced in wood type around 1870 by William H. Page & Company. It is a semi-ornamented face based on a French Clarendon, with dots added to the median and the tops and bottoms of the letters.
It has a distinctly “Old West” feel, and was likely used to add a little pizzazz to advertising and broadsides of the time.
