Kittypot Casting No. 4
A 20th century recasting in Steve Watts' Kittypot Casting series. 18 point Pekin. This is the former "Dormer," by BB&S in 1888. Renamed Pekin in 1925 as a faux-Japanese face. Watts, however, advertises it for its capabilities: "this unique type trims flush at top and bottom, making it invaluable to the typographical tilesetter. Make your own monograms, railroads, cattle brands, &c. Not recommended for longhaired or time-conscious priners." His showing of its abstract potential is quite interesting.

Kittypot Casting No. 6
