1. lydian

   Lydian refers to a musical mode or scale historically used in Greek music, which became the basis for later Western music. In modern terminology, the Lydian mode is a seven-tone musical scale characterized by a major sound but with a raised 4th (augmented fourth) compared to the major scale. It is typically used in jazz and some rock music to create a dreamy or slightly ‘unsettled’ sound. It can also refer to anything related to the ancient region of Lydia in western Anatolia.

1. Lydian

   Lydian is a typeface designed by Warren Chappell for American Type Founders in 1938. While the stressed letter designs suggest a calligraphic style, this is considered a sans-serif font. It is available in bold, italic, and condensed, as well as a Cursive variant. The original foundry font was commissioned and cast by American Type Founders and included an alternate capital A with a cross bar and the original italic used old-style figures for numerals. The various members of the family were introduced over the course of eight years: ⁕Lydian + Italic ⁕Lydian Bold + Italic ⁕Lydian Cursive ⁕Lydian Condensed + Italic It was used by the International Baccalaureate Organization in their document section headings until 2007. A U.S. design patent was applied for on 11 January 1939 and was granted on 3 October 1939. Lucille Ball used the font effectively for the end credits of both her later color television series The Lucy Show - the later episodes - and its immediate successor Here's Lucy It was also used for the on-screen credits on the television series Friends.
