DESIGN FOR A FONT OF PRINTING-TYPES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 11,648, dated February 3,1880.

Application filed October 24, 1879. Term ot' atent '1 years.

To ell 'Lobom 't mag concern Be t known that I, CIIABLES E. HEYEIL, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have originated and designed a new and original Design for a Font of Printing- Types, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying printed illustration, making 'a part of this specification.

My invention relates to a font of capital letters and ornaments.

The design belongs to the Celtic or Ennio style (so called) of letter, and its leading generic feature is its light face andeondensed character, in which respects it differs from others of its classi In addition there .are the following other features of novelty: The A H I V W X Y terminate at both top and bottom wit-h cross-bars or ceriphs. The B, P, and It have their center cross-lines terminatin g in an upward curve or loop not touching the main stem. The diagonal strolre of the B. deseends below the bottom and is straight. The (3, Gr, S, and T have clongated ourved finials ending with a dot at their top` terminals, and the E and L have similar ornaments at their bottom terminals. The-lower end of (3 is carried inward and then down, nearly forming an interior oval. The N consists of a Single down main strolre, and a curved strolre commeneing at the top of the main stem, thence extending to the right, and

then down to the main line with a. double curve, ending with a loop similar to that in the B.

The ornaments accompanying this font consist of three end and one center piece. One of the end pieces consists of a circle with seven lines radiating therefrom in the direction of the verticaldiameter, and at one side thereof the horizontal radiate being extended and having an enlarged portion about midway of its length, while the other lines at either side are considerably shorter, and are graduated .and diminished in length toward the sides. Another end piece consists of a black vertical line with ends bent over and a V- shaped bend at the center. Centrally upon the side -is 'a leaf, in the interior of which is a circular line nniting the sides of the V-hend. so Radiating from the leaf are three arms, the center one being acontinnation of the point of the leaf, and having an ornament toward its extremity, and the other two arms being simply straight lines with a black dot on each. The third piece consists of two vertical hairlines terminating in drooping dots at their outer ends, with a short space between their coirverging points, at the side of these an irregular iigure, the one side whereot is formed of two concavely-curved lines united at the center, and the other side by the union of three convex lines, the center being the arc of a small circle, and the outer portions of a much larger circle. From the central portion projects a line having a circle resembling a bail near its eXtremity, where it terminates in a hair-line, and it is also wideired in its lower portion. Upon either side of this line is another line projecting from the irregular figure, 7

having a black dot at top and increasing in thickness toward the bottom, both inclined away from the center line.

The center ornament is a four-armed figure, each arm t-erminating in a tripod, the vertical s arms being longer than the side ones. Adia.- monti opens up the interior of the body or center from which the arms radiate, and a dot is placed in the space between each pair of arms.

For ease in description I have described the three middle ornaments as though they st-ood vertically in the form rather than horizontally.

I claim- 1. The design for a font of Celtic or Bunic 85 letters herein shown and described.

2. The design for a font of Celtic or Bunic type and ornaments herein set forth.
