24pt. ATF C I V I L I T E, just cast & fonted by the Dale Guild Tpfy.. This is the first time we have put up fonts of Civilite, and it's not been available for a long, long time. This size has 22 auxilliary characters; the alternate e that looks like a backwards 3 is missing from the font of matrices. If this casting of the 24pt. sells, we plan to cast the 18pt as well. In Nov., I will have a few small figure fonts available for those who need more. The scheme is 5A/15a/7-1. We tried to keep the font small and affordable, but with a larger lower-case for text use.

The types were cast on an ATF Barth foundry caster with new primary metals. These are the hardest printing types you can buy. They are more than hard enough for hot-stamping. True foundry alloy coupled with great density! Density comes from casting pressure ten-twenty times that of Monotype cast types. Used well, they will last you a lifetime.

If you are not familiar with the use of new ATF or Dale Guild types, do yourself a big favor and put a font to the test. You won't need makeready. These types are .918 high, and stay that way for a long, long time. You can set and distribute, again & again and still need no makeready. Of course, someday you will, but you can delay this further by rotating the types, especially if you have several fonts in use.
