          The engraving must have taken incredible care to get right with triangular serifs and small capitals. link I was drawn in because it symbolized a time when people still made link things with their hands. Casebacks today are designed and laid out on a computer with engravings usually done by laser when it's done by hand it's less sterile and the link way letters connect and flow is far more considered.
