The minuscule alphabet by Mr. Claude Fayette Bragdon, [59], is a carefully worked-out form which in its lines closely follows a type face devised by Jenson, the celebrated Venetian printer who flourished toward the end of the sixteenth century. This example together with those shown in [50], [51] and [56] exhibits some conservative variations of the standard models for minuscule letters; and the same may be said of the modern type faces shown in [62], [63] and [64]. The various other examples of the small-letter forms illustrated evidence how original and interesting modifications of conservative shapes may be evolved without appreciable loss of legibility.
