contains a full range of upper and lower case letters together with the figures
0 to 9 and a full range of punctuation. There are however no diacritics. It

great.
Seems as it would have been no other names, say, in the 1930's. A blackletter font designed by Rudolf Koch 'The Great' was imported to Britain right under the name Oxford. Nowadays, it's still a marvel. - No Past, no Future!
Signed up just to say that this font is almost identical to Perpetua. Unless I'm missing something, this technically came first, or Photoshop is screwing up somehow, then this is a near-identical copy of Perpetua.
@mikesuszek I updated the description, but Roger states "It is based on a printed specimen of hot metal
