A design by Mark
Argetsinger using Monotype type and ornaments available
at the Bixler Press & Letterfoundry.
|
The ornamentation of printing is at once the most charming
and the most dangerous diversion that the typographer can find; charming
because of its power to add beauty to the strict simplicity of type;
dangerous because all matters of decoration call upon the utmost discretion
and sense of the fittness for their effective use.
Frederic Warde
A great many of our border & ornament matrices were
displayed in our 1995 specimen book. Others matrices then overlooked
are now being cast & proofed for a future specimen book. The list
below represents the 1995 listing and is as up-to-date and as comprehensive
as possible. Click on an ornament below to view an enlarged specimen
of that ornament. A survey of all the border & ornaments specimens
available for viewing & downloading is available on the specimen
map page.
