New Casting / Rudolf Koch's Jessen-Schrift
I spent a lovely afternoon laying a good sized font of 14 punkt Jessen-Schrift that was newly cast by Sky Shipley at his Skyline Type Foundry on a 16pt body. The mats had originally been assembled by Paul Duensing, and ended up in the collection of Mike Anderson. After he died they were sold at auction to a friend in San Francisco who loaned them to Sky. He did an admirable job, but a couple of characters need better alignment. It is a quirky face without the normal points for alignment, but certainly a nice addition to my growing collection of Jessen-Schrift.
