Accu Spec II Type Gauge and Specifier Set

Measure typography with professional precision across seven essential scales

Measuring type and layout elements accurately separates amateur work from professional precision. This transparent gauge system combines seven essential measurement scales with comprehensive type specimens, eliminating guesswork from specification work. The flexible construction adapts to curved surfaces and wrapped elements while maintaining accuracy across flat layouts, crucial when checking printed pieces or measuring dimensional objects.

Matte finish prevents glare under studio lighting, keeping measurements visible without reflections obscuring critical details. E scale, pica, point, and agate scales cover traditional typographic measurements; metric and 12-inch scales handle dimensional work. Leading gauge helps verify vertical spacing. Type specimens run from 6 to 15 points across common sizes (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13), displaying ruled, open, and solid bullets plus squares for matching existing typography or specifying new work.

Graphic designers rely on this gauge for client consultations, production specifications, and quality control checks. One tool handles everything from measuring column widths to matching point sizes, verifying leading, and checking alignment. Keep it within reach for the dozens of small measurements that happen throughout any design project.
