Typography Tuesday
Today we present so-called Benedictine capitals, borders, and ornaments from The Manual of Linotype Typography, printed by the Plimpton Press for the Mergenthaler Linotype Company in Brooklyn, New York, in 1923. The Benedictine typeface family is a revival of a 15th-century type used by Bolognese printer Plato de Benedictis, redesigned by Joseph E. Hill for Linotype in 1915.
