Note 93 — Chapter I · THE ENGLISH TYPE BODIES AND FACES.
Reading edition
In recent years a French typographer, M. Motteroz, has attempted to combine the excellences of the Elzevir and modern Roman, with a view to arrive at an ideally legible type. The experiment is curious but disappointing. For though the new “typographie” of M. Motteroz justifies its claim to legibility, the combination of two wholly unsympathetic forms of letter destroys almost completely the beauty of each.
