These designs were concerned with not only letter identity but also with the formal relationships of their distinctive shapes within the geometry of the circle. The alphabetical letter picture was complemented by printing names, places and events on and in varied fonts and sizes along side of the typographic letter pictures. The looseleaf notebook design was chosen to allow the prints to lie flat.
