When a pointer to The New Type Holder Moderne 2 came to my attention via Briarpress, I had to order one: I do not give into indulgences often, but this is a tool that seems as though designed specifically for me. It arrived in the post today, and it is as truly wonderful – finely-machine, cleverly-designed, lovingly-packaged.

Peter, you’ll find this tool
Peter, you'll find this tool most useful for setting the brass type and ornaments used in bookbinding. True foundry type will work well too, but be careful hand-stamping with softer letters cast on the Monotype caster. They will smash quite easily.
