Alphabets and Numerals (1909). Letters carved by Eric Gill for a book, "Manuscript and Inscription Letters for Schools and Classes and for the Use of Craftsmen" (Edward Johnston 1909).[1] He later gave them to the Victoria and Albert Museum so they could be used by students at the Royal College of Art.
For example, medieval scholars may discuss the particular handwritten letterforms that distinguish one script from another.[2]
The history of letterforms is discussed in fields of study relating to materials used in writing. Epigraphy includes the study of letterforms carved in stone or other permanent materials. Palaeography is the study of writing in ancient and medieval manuscripts. Calligraphy treats the letterforms of decorative writing, usually in ink. In the field of typography, type design is the process of designing typefaces that consist of sets of letterforms for use with metal print or computer. More broadly letterforms may be discussed wherever letters appear stylistically—in graffiti for example.
