They are more than hard enough for hot-stamping. True foundry alloy coupled with immense casting pressure creates density, which makes very hard types!
Density comes from ten-twenty times the casting pressure of Monotype cast types. Used well, they will last you a lifetime.
The lines of type in the font are 6 long, as are all ATF fonts. Will combine other small fonts at no additional Domestic shpg. I still have a few small fonts from our many years of working together at the Dale Guild and a few new types that are not yet fonted; I'm fonting and taking pics as fast as I can but it is slow work. But, I have a list of several hundreds of used ATF, Inland, Keystone & BB&S fonts, as well as several antiques to list, so.... I sell old and new types, Typefounding Artifacts, type-cabinets & cases, books related to printing and other letterpress things from my own shop. I have many lightly used series of American & European types in cases for sale. If there is a face that you are looking for, ask. I may have it in relative abundance. In addition, I sell some very nice items types, books & etc. For a few good retired friends that are better acquainted with movable type than computers. I really do appreciate it.
