Typographica“The land is wide, and there is room for all, without jostling or elbowing another out of the way.” — The opening letter from MacKellar Smiths & Jordan’s 1885 reissue of their 11th Specimen Book (1878). MS&J was probably the most inventive US foundry before the ATF era, with more original typefaces than any other. https://archive.org/details/cu31924032183760/page/n17/mode/2up
