"Old-style" in type does not mean old-fashioned, but the more artistic and readable type modelled on the lettering of the early printers, principally those of the Italian presses, and is that most preferred at present. If anything, modern-faced type is the older fashioned. Fantastic or decorated types, even for initial capitals at the commencement of a division of the catalogue, are better avoided. The following is an example somewhat after the style of the second given above, but applied to a classified catalogue:—
When varying sizes of type are used for distinctive purposes, the contrast is better brought about by using for the smaller type one which is two sizes under that of the body of the catalogue. Thus if 10-point (or long primer) is used, then 8-point (or brevier) is taken for the small type rather than 9-point (or bourgeois), which would not be sufficiently distinctive. All the above examples are in 8-point (or brevier) with 6-point (or nonpareil) for the small size. The following table of types and the space they occupy is useful for reference:—
| This is old-style 12-point | (Pica) |
| This is old-style 11-point | (Small Pica) |
| This is old-style 10-point | (Long Primer) |
| This is old-style 9-point | (Bourgeois) |
| This is old-style 8-point | (Brevier) |
| This is old-style 7-point | (Minion) |
| This is old-style 6-point | (Nonpareil) |
| This is modern-faced 12-point | (Pica) |
| This is modern-faced 11-point | (Small Pica) |
| This is modern-faced 10-point | (Long Primer) |
| This is modern faced 9-point | (Bourgeois) |
| This is modern-faced 8-point | (Brevier) |
| This is modern faced 7-point | (Minion) |
| This is modern-faced 6-point | (Nonpareil) |
Where cost has not to be considered, a better effect is obtained by printing a catalogue across the page instead of in double columns. This takes up nearly twice as much space, given the same size of type, and is usually printed in demy octavo size (8½ inches by 5½). If the number of entries is large the catalogue makes a thick volume, though this depends largely upon the size of type used. The following example is taken from a class-list printed in 8-point (or brevier) with notes and contents in 6-point (or nonpareil) as in the double-columned catalogues shown above:—
