About
Walker's Appeal in Four Articles to the Coloured Citizens of the World was a manifesto against the conditions Black Americans faced in 1830. WeType revived the characters used to set it, taking spacing and punctuation from a 7pt letterpress setting of the 87-page original. Creative Boom listed it as We Appeal; the foundry calls it Appeal.
