Typeface identification

One of the things that will be offered at the Wayzgoose/Great Northern Printer’s Fair (September 17-19 at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa), will be a typeface identification service.

If you have a face that you cannot identify, simply bring a proof of it (and better yet - a few pieces of the type itself) and I will try to nail it down for you. I will be bringing several of my reference books with me to help with this. If I cannot identify it at the Printer’s Fair, I will certainly do more research when I get back to my library and hopefully can send an answer to you at a later date.

This identification opportunity should probably also apply to any miscellaneous presses or parts or tools that you might also want identified. We will have quite an Armada of experts on hand at the Printer’s Fair so it is highly likely that someone can identify your items for you.
