Description
English: Monotype in the 1920s and 30s was an integral part of British design through its supply of printing equipment and its ability to create typefaces which suited the arts and crafts revival mood of the period. A collection of digital renditions of its fonts, mostly from this period. (Some digitisations aren't Monotype's but done (or at least released) by URW, SoftMaker, Adobe and others, and I should note that they aren't always that good - for a closer look best to consult hot metal specimens from Bixler or others.) Sample texts are names of English rivers and their tributaries, from source towards sea.
