[Term of patent 7 years.]

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. OONNER, of Greenville, Hudson county, New Jersey, have invented and produced a new and original Design for a Font of Printing-Type, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of my design is clearly shown in the accompanying typographic impression, to which reference is made; and consists of a text letter shaded upon the right and bottom by a lighter line.

Upon the left of the up-and-down portion of the letters is the engrailed line, as shown, with the exception of the letters X and Z.

The lower portion, upon the left, of the letters A, B, O, D, E, I, K, L, N, R, U, W, X, and Z, terminates in a scroll followed by a curved line terminating in a dot.

The letterH has its lower portion, upon the left, adorned with a line terminating in a scroll, upon the left of which is placed a curved line terminating in a dot.

In the letters A, B. I, J, S, and X, the shadeline upon the right terminates in a curved line terminating in a dot.

The face of the letters B, D, N, O, P, Q, R, S, U, V, and Y is ornamented by short inclined lines placed at the left of the forward portion of the letter.

The letters A, F, G, M, O, Q, S, and W are ornamented by the pendent line terminating in a rhomboidal figure.

Upon the upper left-hand portion of the letters B, H, I, J, K, L, M, P, and R is placed a flourish, as shown.

The crossline in the letter Z terminates at the right and left in a curved line terminated in a dot.

The lower portion of the symbol & is ornamented upon the left by a line terminating in a scroll, to the right of which is placed a line (curved) terminating in a dot, and upon the left by a curved line terminating ina dot.

The upper right-hand portion of the figure 2 terminates in a rhomboidal figure. The upper, lower, and cross portions of the figure 3 have the rhomboidal terminations. The crossline of the figure 4 has the rhomboidal termination upon the right. The figures 5 and 9 have the rhomboidal termination upon the bottom at the left. The symbol is provided with the rhomboidal termination at the top and bottom.

In the lower-case the upper portion of the a terminates upon the left in the curved line provided with the dot.

The upper portion of the letters b, c, d, e, k, and l terminates upon the right in the curved line terminating in the dot.

Both terminations of the h terminate in the dot, following a curved line upon the right of the letter.

The letter f is provided upon the right with the pendent line terminating in the rhoinboidal ornament.

The letter r is provided upon the right hand with a pendent line, the lower portion of which is curved and terminates in a dot.

The rhomboidal ornament characterizes the letters a, v, w, x, y, and 2, as also the letters b, h, i, k, in, n, o, p, q, and u.

Having now set forth my invention, what 1 claim as new is-- The design for a font of printing-type, as shown and described.
