MYS Hoity-Toity! specimen from Mysterian Design

A revival of the light cut of Ihlenburg's 1883 Stylus, drawn from one blurry specimen sheet.

About

Hoity-Toity comes from a single scan of a nineteenth-century specimen page, with several glyphs missing entirely. The designer filled the gaps by interpretation rather than by research, which is honest about what it is. Two ampersands, a full lower case and numerals.

Classification

A digitisation of the light cut of Stylus, patented by Herman Ihlenburg for MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan in 1883. Ornamental Victorian display work.
