Hi there!

New printer here. Found some nice Hamilton type, but not sure the name. Any resources to find details?

Help is appreciated :)

Hamilton called this Roman No. 244. It is similar to, but not identical to the metal typefaces Bodoni Black Condensed and Onyx, all three being 20th century variations of the 19th century “fat faces.”
