What reading level is Historic Printing Types a Lecture Read Before the Grolier Club of New York Jan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The body-marks were firm, and the counters of good width, not easily choked with ink. Hair lines were few and of positive thickness. The serif s were not noticeably short, but they were stubby, or so fairly bracketed to the body-mark that they could not be readily gapped or broken down. When printed, as much of the Elzevir printing was done, with strong impression and abundance of ink, the types were almost as bold and black as the style now known as Old Style Antique. This firmness of face exp...lains the popularity of the so-called Elzevir letter. It may not be comely, but it is legible. The letters may be stubby, but they have no useless lines ; they were not made to show the punch-cutter's skill in truthful curves and slender lines, but to be read easily and to wear well. Yet to readers whose standard of taste is the deli- cacy of copper-plate engraving, the Elzevir types are, as Hansard calls them, types of " awkward stiffness. " The fickleness of popular taste is illustrated by the fate of the Van Dijck punches, which were last owned by the founders Enschede.
