Brass was released by HiH. Brass consists of 2 designs and household package options. p > The Brass Household has a family tree that extends into English history. About five hundred years ago a devout, but anonymous Englishman gave splendor to the God he worshipped by creating the capital letters and decors of these two fonts. Initially taped in The History Of Mediaeval Alphabets And Gadgets by Henry Shaw (London 1853), they are described by Alexander Nesbitt in his Decorative Alphabets And Initials (Mineola, NY 1959) as "Initials and stop accessories from brasses in Westminster Abbey." I want I might say I keep in mind seeing them when I existed, but that was forty-two years back and all I remember was seeing the tomb of Edward the Confessor.

One meaning of "stop" as a noun is a point of punctuation. I have actually heard people from the British Isles speak of a "full stop" when referring to a period. Some might remember a 19th century type of interaction called a telegram reading aloud in an old movie, with using the word "stop" to show completion of a sentence or fragment. A complete dozen of these stop ornaments are provided. They inhabit positions 060, 062, 094, 123, 125, 126, 135, 137, 167, 172, 177 & & 190.

The Brass Household includes two font styles: Brass and Brass Too. Both typefaces have an identical upper case and ornaments, but paired with different lower cases. Although the typefaces from which the lower cases were drawn are both of modern design, both are analyses of the textura style of blackletter in usage in England when the upper case and accessories were fashioned for the Abbey. Brass is matched with Morris Gothic, which matches the color of the upper case rather well. Brass Too is combined with Wedding Routine, which is clearly lighter than the upper case. I find it extremely fascinating how each connects differently. The resulting typefaces are uncommon and most helpful for evoking a historical atmosphere.
