Unknown letterpress letters kit
Hello, I came across your site by accident. I am a graphic designer and an advertiser. I have been trying to know the name of this typeface for a long time. I think it is an old letterpress letters kit. I have consulted various sites and books but so far without success. Does anyone have an idea of what it is? I also have other typefaces I would like to know the origin of, it is something very interesting to me. Thank you very much!

Hello Giacomo. Could you post some pictures of some of the letters. Also post a picture of the container which they are all contained in. What country are you located in. That might help narrow them down. Do you know the height of the letters? Are they type high (.918 inch) which we use in North America? Are they wood, metal or rubber?
Hello Geoffrey, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I don’t have this letter kit, I was just looking for information about it. I couldn’t find anything like it on the web or even in books that can be consulted online.
From the words Polyjuice Potion, I would guess this originates with the graphic artists working in the Harry Potter films, not in historic typecasting.
Yes, it was used in the Harry Potter films but I discovered that it is an existing letter kit that was purchased by the team in the 2000s to create various props.
