These fonts have been created solely for the purpose of explaining the nature of wooden type as it was created in the 19th century.These fonts are not to be re-sold, re-marketed, or compiled as fonts for sale by others.

Many but not all fonts feature complete character sets. Adobe Acrobat pdf files with sample text and characters are available as listed on individual font pages. It is our intention to make as many fonts available with complete character sets as possible, including upper and lower case as well as numbers, and complete punctuation, when possible.

How type might be created in the mind of a young designer.

All original fonts included here are not to be re-sold or included as marketed material in any form.
