Here is a 1200 dpi scan of the 1974 Japanese reprint. Click on the image and download the original from flickr. I will add the capitals when I get a chance to scan them.


Hi, may I ask if you know the distance between between the diagonal guidelines?  I tried to measure them and it seems that the diagonal space for each letter is equal to x-height.  I am having difficulty maintaining the width of my letters so i thought i should put diagonal guides as well.

@baodingball, I worked this out when creating these. Measured horizontally, it's a hair less than the x-height. Around .95 on average.
