Lettre de Forme used in second complete edition of Chaucer: Pynson, London
From a copy in Harvard College Library (facsimile), The Workes of Geffray Chaucer (scan)
1542
Ten years later (1542), a second edition appeared, printed by Pynson, also set in black-letter, but entirely of the English variety—a rather solid lettre de forme—a consistently Gothic book and purely English in type-forms and in taste.
