“This face was first shown as wood type by Darius Wells and E.R. Webb in their 1849 Specimen of Plain and Ornamental Wood Type. Kelly noted that this style most likely originated as a wood type in America. Ornamented variations appeared in Page’s 1859 Specimens of Wood Type.” [RRK]
Not to be confused with Gothic Tuscan or Bill’s Gothic Tuscan Condensed No. 1 which are different styles.
