T1 Typefaces, Fonts, and Types: Toward a Classification of Fifteenth-Century Gothic  ‘Types´
T2 Tipos de letra, fuentes y tipos: hacia una clasificación de los “tipos” góticos del siglo XV
A1 Rial Costas, Benito
AB For more than a century, librarians and bibliographers have supposedly identified and cataloged gothic types using the Proctor-Haebler system and many incunabula collections have been described using it. It is now widely accepted that the Proctor-Haebler system's nomenclature and techniques are uniform and consistent for cataloging rare books and that it is informative about types. This article explains that although the Proctor-Haebler system may help us to identify a printer or a printing office, it confounds different typographic concepts (typeface, font, and type), uses contradictory methods, is based on weak or arguable assumptions, and does not inform us about “types.”
