Does anybody know why there is a period/full stop after Model? Or why they said "Model" at all? Is it technically a "Remington Remie Scout Model."? If it is, that is probably the most weirdly formatted name for a typewriter.

Origin of Royal's Vogue
 |
| Advertisement for Vogue. Oddly, only the caption for Ira Tarbell is set in Kabel. |
 |
| This is a sample from the 1939 Futurama brochure by General Motors that uses Kabel. |
(EDIT) I just discovered (that word again) that there is also a non-typewriter typeface called Vogue which is definitely the one Royal based their Vogue off of (surprise?). No digital version exists. Anyway, both Vogues were definitely based off of Kabel. (Ira Tarbell's caption is still Kabel though, and the body text may or may not be in Vogue.)
Read more about Kabel on Wikipedia.
