There's No Q, X or Z in De Roos



Here's the De Roos spread: 36-pt italic and 60-pt semi-bold. Bodleian handmade verso (back of last week's Five Beauties), Arches Velin recto. The fonts came pristine, in their original Lettergieterij Amsterdam packaging (a couple shown below). Inexplicably, the semi-bold is missing the Q, X and Z (but not the W, T, F and ?, which enables us to ask the question), so we improvised with the sorts we did have.


In the press this week: Morris roman and Reiner Script. Still pondering the book's title; suggestions will be considered.
