Catchwords have always been used together with standard alphabets in wood type catalogs and so typically appear on posters as a decorative punch that they have actually entered into the wood type vernacular. Words like ‘‘ The', ‘‘ And', ‘ To', ‘ For', and less common abbreviations might be placed into a design along with ornamental accessories or stars when space was tight or to add range in the design.
HWT Catchwords includes over 80 words based directly on designs offered by Hamilton and other wood type makers of the 19th and early 20th Century.
