相当宽大且只有大写字母的Monotype Engravers家族模仿了从19世纪的铜板和钢版雕刻机之手演变而来的手写体，这是一个相当有表现力的媒介！Monotype Engravers的字母的粗笔画之间对比强烈，且衬线极其清晰。

1899年，Robert Wiebking（当时曾在多家铸造厂工作过）设计了一款名为Engravers Roman的全大写字体。不久之后，American Type Founders，Inc.（ATF）于1902年发布了该设计的另一个成功的原型，即由Morris Fuller Benton 设计的"Engravers Bold"。 Engravers Bold也是由Barnhart Brothes＆Spinder铸造厂发布。

20世纪初，Lanton Monotype也提供Engravers Bold，Engravers字体很快便成为信头、广告和文具的热门之选。

The rather wide, caps-only Monotype Engravers family imitates scripts that evolved from copperplate and steel plate engravers hands of the nineteenth century, which were a quite expressive medium! Monotype Engravers' letters show a strong contrast between thick and thin strokes and have sharply cut serifs.

In 1899, Robert Wiebking (who worked for a number of foundries in his time) designed an all-caps typeface named Engravers Roman."" Shortly thereafter, American Type Founders, Inc. (ATF) released another successful ancestor of this design in 1902, ""Engravers Bold,"" designed by Morris Fuller Benton. Engravers Bold was also released by the Barnhart Brothes & Spinder foundry.

Also made available by Lanston Monotype at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Engravers faces soon became a popular choice for letter heads, advertising and stationery.
