When I dropped into Tom’s office earlier today, he mentioned that he had found a copy of Albrecht Durer’s Of the Just Shaping of Letters available as a printable PDF. This version was scanned from the 1969 Dover reprint of the 1917 edition which is in the public domain. Cool! A bit of googling turned up the original scanner, one Sean Gleeson, as well as the PDF itself. Cool. This has the constructions for each of the 23 capitals of the Roman alphabet. Very, very neat.
