Typefaces

The following is a partial listing of the faces that I have.

My first acquisition was a small (2/3 size) wooden type cabinet.  The cabinet was filled with several short runs of type (Wedding Text, Spartan, and a couple of black letter fonts).  To this I added some loose cases (Cooper Black, and some wood type) acquired from a small shop that closed down, and some new type (California Old Style) purchased from M&H Type.

Recently I picked up a run of Corvinus from a shop that closed down in New Jersey.  And I have picked up some stray fonts on ebay.
