GOLDEN TYP

Also known as the Kelmscott Golden. The Golden Type is a bolder re-design of the classical Jenson face, developed while he was producing in the Kelmscott Press. It was inspired by Nicolas Jenson's typeface but was darkened. The punches were cut by E.P. Prince. William Morris used it in many of the books in the Kelmscott Press, starting with the Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine.

PANGRAM

Case study: "Playing jazz vibe chords quickly excites my wife." Pangrams, also known as holoalphabetic sentences, are sentences using every letter of a given alphabet at least once. Pangrams have been used to display typefaces, test equipment, and develop skills in handwriting, calligraphy, and keyboarding.

O

n May the Eighth, I went to the Justice Building, signed up for my tesserae, and pulled home my first batch of grain and oil in Prim’s toy wagon. On the eighth of every month, I was entitled to do the same. I couldn’t stop hunting and gathering, of course. The grain was not enough to live on, and there were other things to buy, soap and milk and thread. What we didn’t absolutely have to eat, I began to trade at the Hob. It was frightening to enter that place without my father at my side, but people had respected him, and they accepted me. Game was game after all, no matter who’d shot it. I also sold at the back doors of the wealthier clients in town, trying to remember what my father had told me and learning a few new tricks as well. The butcher would buy my rabbits but not squirrels. The baker enjoyed squirrel but would only trade for one if his wife was not around. The Head Peacekeeper loved wild turkey. The mayor had a passion for strawberries taste.

In late summer, I was washing up in a pond when I noticed the plants growing around me. Tall trees with leaves like arrowheads. Blossoms with three white petals. I knelt down in the water, my fingers digging into the soft mud, and I pulled up handfuls of the roots.
