"This is a collection of 100 unusual and authentic Victorian type fonts for artists, designers and craftsmen. Selected from Solotype Typographers Catalog, these complete alphabets amply display the Victorian fascination with varieties of type. As copyright-free material, much of which does not appear in other typographer's catalogs, this is an excellent sourcebook for use in all graphics work calling for old-fashioned Victorian flavor. Included are both plain and decorative alphabets, some ornamented with streamers, fans, ribbons, bars, filigrees, vine leaves, harp strings, and more. Some fonts such as Calliope, Buffalo Bill, Shaded Barnum, Fargo, Jackpot, and Burlesque have a carnival or Wild WEst atmosphere. Others like Tangier and Cabalistic, are rather exotic. You will also find heavy-duty fonts, Bohemia and Broadside, along with such delicate ones as Aeolian Open and Arboret. Many of the alphabets include lower as well as upper case letters, and many also include a complete set of numbers. Several Victorian printer's ornaments have also been included."--back cover.
