Late, I know. The Epic Shaded is most likely the one but I don't see how that one with that overlap can ever make it to the digital world.
On the copyright issue, until some 20 years ago copyright protection did not exist in the USA, the USA being one of the very few nations that had not ratified the Convention of Bern. That is why American type designers had to file for a patent which gave far less protection than the copyright protection of said Convention. And only a few years vs the 70 years after the death of the designer, without any need to file anything (keeping a paper trail always is a good thing though).
You don't need to be a lawyer or consult a lawyer to understand the Convention of Bern. You don't have to read the full paper to understand what it is all about. The concise paper is easy to read and very clear. There can be no doubt.
The typography world always refers to the (outdated) USA law as if that were global law while it is (was) the one and only exception to the rule.
On Castcraft, they have completely abandoned the typography scene. When still in that business with a website on that subject they never responded to any inquiry. Did not even sell the CDs anymore. They do not really seem to care.
Under US law at the time there was no copyright infringement as their fonts were their own digital versions of existing type designs. As did Bitstream, as did Dan X. Solo, as did Adobe to name a few. As said, copyright protection did not exist in the USA.
Did I say Bitstream fonts are clones? Nope. They were made with the Linotype films Bitstreams founder took when leaving Linotype and then made their own digital versions.
Have fun and be nice to the cats
