Concave – 18pt

Description

A Victorian face released in 1884 by the famous Marder, Luse & Co. type foundry. The original design included two font ornaments: a Maltese cross to be used between words, and a reversible decorative bracket to gussy up the line ends. Our matrix font did not include either of these. However, for our second casting in 2012 we searched the matrix vault and found a cross that was a very close match. Then for this, our third casting, we came up with an ornamental  bracket of unknown origin (probably 19th century) that, while not identical to the original, is of the perfect weight to accompany Concave and looks right at home with it. These ornaments are shown in the specimen picture above.
