Excelsior was designed by Chauncey Griffith and published by Linotype.
Excelsior contains 8 styles and family package options.

Opticon and Paragon are slightly heavier and slightly lighter versions designed for newspapers that deliberately underink to favor halftones, or overink to favor text and headlines.
