I found out that poor richard's almanac was printed in a variation of Garamond. I kind of assumed that it would have been printed in Franklin gothic, but no, that didn't exist until 1902. I also found out that so was pretty much everything else for a pretty long time. It looks crappy because franklin's printing press sort of sucked. Plus everything was placed by hand. It took a crap load of time. (um, ya. I was trying to quote something from poor richards almanac to a friend, so that's how come this is so random).
