Making of a Renaissance Book

Yesterday I watched the first part of making a Renaissance Book. I was not aware of all of the craftsmanship that went into creating one small type letter. When the narrator was explaining all of the different parts of the letter mold the list of parts consisted of many more items then I had anticipated. It is so easy to change fonts in a word document or even to download a new font from the web. I definitely take this action for granted. I never really considered how the first type was created or the fact that someone had to invent all of the different styles and sizes of fonts we use today.
