This is my second version of this font, the first being called "Cabaletta". According to Rollin Smith's "The Aeolian Pipe Organ and its Music", the font was originally designed for the Roosevelt Organ Company. Later that firm was absorbed by Farrand & Votey in 1893, which in turn was merged into The Aeolian Company. But Aeolian kept using the Roosevelt font, because it was so elegant. The name comes from Hilborne L. Roosevelt and his brother Frank Roosevelt, famous organ builders, not Theodore, their first cousin.

Thanks to Rob Case for bringing the font to my attention and to Richard Vance for the history and encouragement to make it better.
