“Hamilton is a spirited trio of designs, each fitting as many characters per line as weight will permit. Original designs were patented in 1887 by William Hamilton Page, a self-taught genius who came to dominate wood-type manufacture in the United States. Nos. 508, 510, and 513 are each lighter and narrower than the last. Thomas Rickner followed No. 508 for Bold, adapting it for Medium and Light. A series for display and short-measure text.” — Font Bureau, 1993
