Recognizing such type is currently done manually using both the character shapes of 'M' or 'Qu' and the size of the total type to look it up in a large reference work. This is a reliable method, but it is also slow and requires specific skills. We investigate the performance of type classification and type retrieval using a newly created dataset consisting of easy and difficult types used in early printed books. For type classification, we rely on a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) originally used for font-group classification while we use a common writer identification method for the retrieval case. We show that in both scenarios, easy types can be classified/retrieved with a high accuracy while difficult cases are indeed difficult.
