Brendan,

There is a book called “Rookledge’s classic international typefinder” that features large sections comparing individual letters from many fonts. It is designed as a tool for identifying typefaces.

Hope that is what you were looking for.

Hi fontophiles

I’m looking for a book that i saw once but can’t find now …

It compared fonts letter by letter — not entire font by entire font. So for example, looking at all the types of capital A’s, then lower case a’s, etc.

Any ideas what it is?
