Filmotype Quick is an inline variant of Ginger, issued in c.1958. In 1961, designer Murray Stein specified it for an album of Italian guitar music, released by Time Records in their Series 2000. The cover painting is by Mino Ceretti. The typography was carried out by The Composing Room, Inc., New York.
