The 5 bothers him particularly. He reproduces its black bulk on one page followed for comparison by seven 55 from the fonts of celebrated designers. Overleaf is a little drawing of a fat harridan leaning against the Treasury's figure while a slender nymph stands by a modern 5 of Dwiggins design. Then...
