In comparison to Rustikalis Modernized Gothic as shown in Phil’s Photo catalog and on Chartpak dry transfer sheets, Rustikalis DT Light (used for the sample) is narrower. Chiselle NF has the right width, but is different in several details, most notably in ‘m n r x M S V W X 5’. These deviations may be due to alternates included in the original.
