Hermes Dilema

The lighting in my radio room is not the best for photos and I was too lazy to get the photo floods out.  I do plan a future post on all of the Hermes when I get the first rounded body finished and some other projects out of the way.

When typing with this machine on a page beside where the regular pica is typed this font looks much cleaner and easier to read.  One of the few serif fonts I like.

Anyone know why some of the Ss have a line through them and others have a short horizontal line beside them while others have the short horizontal line as well as the vertical line through them?
