Harrington Mk7 - modified type element for Blickensderfer 5

Winter is unwilling to let go this year but today we got a sunny day.

I was modifying Harrington typeface to match my 3D printing process. Letters became bold, to get better margins with direct inking technique used on Blicks. This typeface is very delicate but proportional and is otherwise very suitable for Blickensderfer.

The result is good. Finally!
With felt ink pad and oil-based ink the imprint is of reasonable quality. I’m not sure I can get it any better.

There will be one more iteration before I consider it done: I will replace fractions with Swedish and maybe Polish letters. Although I finally managed to implement fractions with this Mk7 version - I don’t really use them! And I lack Swedish letters when typing a letter. Having them at hand will make the type element more suitable for my use.

So there will be Mark 8, most probably the final revision!
