Lead? type: Visual braille Regular βœ… yes no no yes no no * "This 'visual font' was created in order to increase awareness of braille and allow sighted people to experience braille." * This version of braille is "basic" or "Grade I braille. ("Advanced braille uses many contractions to augment the a-z alphabet in order to make the text much more compact. Making a metal face of advanced braille would entail a far larger character count.") * How to use visual braille type (from Swamp Press type foundry website): -Each character has an identification mark on the shoulder, which does not print, but allows for easy setting, distribution and proofing. -Spacing: all printed braille is 0.245" wide in set, so spaces are included in my fonts. Regular 24 pt spacing can also be used. -Leading: the official standard for vertical height of the braille cell is 0.4" or 28.5 points, which for letterpress is very, very inconvenient. So I recommend using 4 pts leading and if one wants to be persnickety add in another half point. -Capitals: a special character denotes that the following character is capitalized. In this font "β€’Cβ€’" on the shoulder means "Cap". -Numerals: numerals are created by adding the numeral character (# on the shoulder) before the letter "" for the numeral 1, "b" following means 2, and so on. So "#a#b" indicates the numeral "12". * More info: https://www.swamppress.com/braille-unique.html photo of letterpress type described as 'Visual braille' photo of a print made from letterpress type described as 'Visual braille' slab-002
Lead? type: Embossing braille Regular βœ… yes no no yes no no * This version of braille is "basic" or "Grade I braille. ("Advanced braille uses many contractions to augment the a-z alphabet in order to make the text much more compact. Making a metal face of advanced braille would entail a far larger character count.") * How to use embossing braille type (from Swamp Press type foundry website): -Setting: on the shoulder of the type is the character identification in relief, and this will not emboss but aids in setting, proofing and redistribution. -Spacing: all printed braille is 0.245" wide in set, so spaces are included in my fonts. Regular 24 pt spacing can also be used. -Leading: the official standard for vertical height of the braille cell is 0.4" which is 28.5 points, which for letterpress is very inconvenient. So I recommend using 4 pts leading and if one wants to be persnickety add in another half point. -Capitals: a special character denotes that the following character is capitalized. In this font "β€’Cβ€’" on the shoulder means "Cap." Numerals: numerals are -created by adding the numeral character (# on the shoulder) before the letter "a" for the numeral 1, "b" following is 2, and so on. So "#a#b" indicates the numeral "12". * More info: https://www.swamppress.com/braille-embossing.html photo of letterpress type described as 'Embossing braille' photo of a print made from letterpress type described as 'Embossing braille' slab-003
