I happened to mention to the proprietor of an antiques barn near here one day that I'd be interested in any old typewriters she might happen to come across. A conversation ensued, the proprietor withdrew into a back room, and she re-emerged with an old handwritten letter, dated 18 Sept. 1825 and spanning nearly three pages. The letter—penned by Samuel Clarke, a Princeton, Massachusetts, pastor—sought donations for the victims of an accident at sea. I thought his script unique, stylistic, and definitely font-worthy. Schooner Script's 500-plus glyphs include multiple ligatures, lining and old-style figures, an inkblot or two, and support for Central/Eastern European languages.
