Looking for some “R” mats

Looking for in 14 point Cheltonian the letter “R”

Mat needs to be 14 point Cheltonian Light with Bold, the Intertype company put out this mat. Marking on mat is No. 14.

Just need a few good “R” mats to fill the magazines.

The only Intertype Cheltonian that fits the bill is 14-955, which is Cheltonian Wide with Cheltonian Bold. You might also look under Linotype 14 delta 40, which is Cheltenham Wide with Cheltenham Bold. Usually Intertype and Linotype mats of a common face can be run together without issue.

In the specimen books I have, there is no mention of Cheltonian Light.

I am posting a printed copy of the Intertype font.

Hmmm. What is shown looks like Cheltonian with Cheltonian Bold Condensed, Intertype item 949. Not sure what the No. 118 is, unless the number is from Simoncini or one of the other mat makers besides Intertype and Linotype.

What year Intertype specimen book is the scan out of? Also, are there absolutely no markings on the mats themselves? I have seen blank mats like that (maddening) but usually they are marked.

In any instance, you might want to contact Don Black and see if he has any sorts available. Odds are he does and get them to you for a reasonable fee, as this would seem to be a common face to me.

I found the number on the side 1033, but it does match mat listing from website with mat information.
