Description:
From Germany. Paid probably twice as the amount I should have for this piece, but it came with three type sets and I've been very lucky to purchase another two.
The Mignon in my opinion may be the most flexible and ingenious designs out there. In it's simplicity it can morph into whatever font style and text you need.
I think with a normal QWERTY layout, people might find this machine much easier to use.
Type sets I have:
Fraktur (9.5 CPI)
Kursive, Italics (9.5 CPI)
Plaketschrift (5 CPI)
Schecksicherung (9.5 CPI)
897 Plaketschrift (5 CPI)
Would love to have more if possible! ;)
