		<title>Modified Q</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t post nearly enough Q&#8217;s on End Grain. This guy used to be a part of the 514 die stamped font that Page first produced in 1887. But you can see where the top triangle flourish has been trimmed off, presumably so the letter would match another similar typeface. It&#8217;s still a lovely letterform. This style has a very nice combination of straight lines and hard angles with some ...

		<title>Grotesque R</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love grotesque R&#8217;s! They are so heavy but always have great lines on the leg. This one slides out just a bit at the bottom, enough to give it visual interest but not distracting. You can see that the edges on this block have cleaned up easier than the rest of it.

		<title>Antique 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, what a great way to start the year! I love the numerals for this typeface. They are huge and meaty and delectable. I love the ball terminal at the end of the stroke, it gives the number a lot of personality. It&#8217;s almost like he&#8217;s rocking a pompadour.

		<title>Gothic P</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! This is a very handsome P, it&#8217;s nice and beefy and well balanced. The top of the letter seems to have a thicker stroke than the rest of it. The face has a little bit of staining with some nice round spots that make it very lovely.

		<title>Inconspicuous O</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most unique thing about this particular block is how shallow the shoulder is. I&#8217;m not an expert, but I think there may be a possibility that this block was die-cut. You can see where the shoulder is peeling away from the face at the top, and I&#8217;m not seeing any obvious router markings.

		<title>Mmmm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been ages since I posted some of my French Antique letters, so here&#8217;s a lovely couple of M&#8217;s. As is usually the case, the lowercase letter has seen much less use than it&#8217;s older brother. The lowercase letter has traces of red ink in its hairline counters. The lowercase form seems a bit more jolly and friendly than the uppercase M, which has a lot of sharp angles.

		<title>Stained N</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Going to close off the week with this gorgeous Gothic N. The staining is so rich and lovely, and the clear and bright wood grain really pops out next to it. The negative areas house two really nice sets of tiered pantograph marks. I love big type like this because you can see how the rings stretch over the face so well.

		<title>Grecian V</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted any letters from my beloved Grecian set for awhile, so I thought I&#8217;d post this slick V today. The left stroke is so thin that it gives the letter a dramatic presence. The contrast is very nice. I love how the stroke narrow in that the bottom, it&#8217;s a nice detail that gives the letter even more visual interest.

		<title>Antique A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back to back A&#8217;s this week, just because I love them so much! This guy is solid, meaty and wonderfully angular. I love the uneven stroke weight from one side of the letter to another. This guy has been cut into, as many A&#8217;s are, for kerning. The serifs on the bottom are so wide that the space between them is just a hairline, an interestingly delicate detail in what ...
