I have collected a variety of names for imaginary lines, areas, or heights. Based on them, I have designed and Nanikatsu has printed one with its own “Vandercook SP-15” proof press. Please also visit my WIKI “Type Anatomy”. This is now on sale at the Etsy site of Nanikatsu.

巷に溢れるラテン文字の仮想線名を掻き集め、調べ直して各文字毎に纏めたもの。この作品は私がデザインし、なにわ活版研究所さんが自身で所有のVandercook SP-15で手刷りしたもの。拙WIKI欧文書体部位名称もご覧あれ。現在、なに活様のSTORESサイトにて販売中。

巷に溢れるラテン文字の部位名を掻き集め、調べ直して各文字毎に纏めたもの。同一部位でも名が異なったり、同一名でも示す部位が異なったり、タイプデザインとカリグラフィーでも名が異なったり。そんな部位名をポストカードとして、なにわ活版研究所さん所有の手フートで手刷りしたのがこれ。拙WIKI欧文書体部位名称もご覧あれ。
