type
Our most dependable selections are in the Caslon (14pt), Janson (12pt), Times Roman and Helvetica. Only a few offer enough type to set more than a page of prose — particularly thin drawers are identified as such — but we have embarked on a program to add a drawer of new foundry type each year. An annotated specimen sheet (and webpage) is under development. |
