The Iniddle portions oi" the capital letters A and ll consist of two parallel lilies connecting with the sides of the letters. The upper front portions of C, l, F, (l, S, and T, the lower front portions ol' Land Z, the upper back portions of T and Z, and the lower back portion of S terminate with straight oblique lines diminishingr to a ine point. All the upper and lower case letters and numerals which admit of it are provided with ceriphs. The front lower portion of K consists of a heavy oblique line, the upper end of which terminates in a liuc upward point extended across and slightly beyond the fine line eonnecting the stem with the upper front portion ot' the letter. The upper portion of the tail of Q consists ofa fine curved line, and its lower portion is enlarged and terminates in a straight oblique fine line. The central portion ol`e consists of a fine oblique line connect` ing with the back and the upper front portion ofthe letter. The lower portion of g consists of a heavy straight diagonal line, and below it a fine slightly-curved line, the upper portion of whiehjoins the front portion of the diagonal line, and the lower portion of this iine line is enlarged and extended llaekward. The front portions ofone form of 11,111, and I1 are extended below the base-line of the other portions of these letters and have an oblique straight-pointed termination. The lower ends ofthe stems of p and q are provided with reverse oblique ceriph-lines. The letters C and h and C and o are formed in combination, as shown in the printed impressions.
