About

Translated from original German description: Even if it doesn’t look like it, this typeface was also drawn in the 19th century.

June 1892, In Philadelphia, the type foundry MacHellar, Smiths & Jordan Company issues its 20th main sample, it contains 2 typefaces named after James Ronaldson, the founder of the first type foundry in the USA, which he founded together with Archibald Binny on November 1, 1796 founded in Phiadelphia, a relatively normal Antiqua and this Gothic, which I’m not sure about, that it also comes from Ronaldson.
This foundry became MacHellar, Smiths & Jordan Co. in 1897, which then merged with 22 other foundries to form American Type Founders in 1892.

I also added a light version to the Ronaldson Gothic font package
