T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN IHLENBURG, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Design for a Font of Printing-Type, of which the following is a specification.

My design for a font of Italic printing-type is clearly illustrated in the accompanying typographical impression.

The essential feature of the design is the combination, in a heavy-faced Italic type7 of the old style and the modern design.

The right-hand line of the letter A is heavy, straight, and inclined, while the left-hand line is curved and heavy at the center. The cross-line at the top extends from the righthand line to a point considerably beyond the left-hand line and terminates in a small bulb. The left-hand line of the letter B is straight, heavy, and inclined and the upper loop of the letter is composed of an inclined light line and a scroll-line extending over the top of the left-hand line. The lower loop is formed by a scroll extending from the inclined line under the left-hand line. The letter C is formed of a scroll having a slightly-curved section at the top. The left-hand line of the letter D is straight and heavy and the loop is formed by a scroll, heavy at the center and extending over the top and bottom of the left-hand line. The letter E is in the form of a scroll enlarged at each end and having a straight tongue at the center. The letter F consists of a short heavy inclined line having a tongue extending from about the center and an ogee scroll extending across the top. The letter G consists of a curved line heavy at the center and the top serif extends diagonally and joins the heavy portion of the letter at the center, and at the lower righthand side is a heavy short line connected to the serif by a heavy cross-line. The lefthand line of the letter II is heavy and has an extended serif at the top, terminating in a bulb, and the right-hand line is in the form of a curve. The letter I is formed of a heavy inclined line with a curved serif at the top. The line of the letter .I is heavy, terminating in a loop at the bottom and an ogee-curved scroll at the top. The lefthand line of the letter K is heavy and inclined with a short serif at the top. The upper inclined line is light and terminates in an enlargement and the lower inclined line is heavy. The inclined line of the letter L is heavy and at the top is an extended serif, terminating at one end in a bulb. The lower line is heavy at the outer end. The left-hand line of the letter M is heavy. The central line is also heavy and is connected by an inclined line to the left-hand line, and the right-hand line is in the form of a curve. The left-hand line of the letter N is heavy and inclined and the right-hand line is curved. The letters O and Q are of the ordinary shape, heavy at the center and light at each end, the letter Q having a scroll at the base. The heavy line of the letter P is inclined and the loop is formed of a scroll extending over the top of the inclined line and terminating in an abrupt curve at the opposite end. The letter R is similar to the letter B, with the exception that in place of the lower loop an inclined line is connected to the upper loop. The letter S is in the form of a scroll and connected to the heavy straight line at the base and a short scroll at the top. The letter T consists of two scrolls. The left-- hand line of the letter U is curved, having a heavy extension at the topfand is connected to the heavy right-hand line. The letter V is similar to the letter U, with the exception that the heavy right-hand line is shortened and terminates at the point where it joins the left-hand line. The central line of the letter WV is straight and heavy and the right and left hand lines are curved. One line of the letter X is curved and heavy and the other line is in the form of a scroll, heavy at each end. The long line of the letter Y is light, terminating in a heavy enlargement at the upper end and connected to a straight hori zontal heavy base line. The other inclined herein described and as shown in the aceom- 1o line is heavy. The inclined line of the letter panying. typographical impression.
