Herbert Horne’s Montallegro, Florence, and Riccardi Types

1904–1914

Herbert P. Horne designed three types of importance—the Montallegro, the Florence, and the Riccardi. These may be called sister types, for they show a certain progression of idea, and all attack the problem of what a fine type for commercial printing should be—elegant, yet readable from a present day standpoint.
