FIGURES.
FIGURES FOR THE DIFFERENT LETTERS.
In the illustration of figures shown, I have presented five distinct faces, which may be used in connection with any style of lettering. The top row of figures is Roman; the second Roman outlined; and here attention should be paid to the method of shading, that the figures may stand out boldly. The third line of figures is Egyptian, the fourth antique Roman and the fifth De Vinne. This last is the best all-round figure you can adopt, as the De Vinne is the best all-round letter. It is not an easy face to make, but once mastered will prove of inestimable benefit to the card writer.
