A Composing Stick.

The Fonts.

Below are examples of the fonts from 'The Printer's Type Case, Volume 2' in action. Since they were scanned directly from the pages of original 150 year-old documents, the letters show imperfections common to letterpress printing. Additionally, like their original counterparts, some fonts feature only uppercase letters and may not include numerals.

All Fonts Are In The Open Type Format, And Are Equally Compatible On Both PC And Mac.
