about

   The HWT American Chromatic set
   is a multilayered font set that
   will allow for thousands of
   possible color and pattern
   combinations. The original 19th
   Century chromatic that this
   font set is based upon included 2
   fonts. The HWT digital version
   includes 8. The alignment is
   configured to allow any
   combination of the 8 fonts to
   all align when identical text
   is set and arranged, one on top
   of the other. Due to the highly
   decorative nature of this font
   set, the character set is
   limited to upper case only with
   basic punctuation. Five of the
   eight fonts in the set can be
   used individually as variations
   of the classic Tuscan style of
   wood type, which is defined by
   its concave stems and serifs.
   There are no accented
   characters also due to the
   ornate nature of the design
   and because there were no
   accents originally intended
   for this design.
