Albany-based foundry, also called Franklin Letter Foundry (not to be confused with the Franklin Type Foundry in Cincinnati). It opened in 1825 and closed in 1832 when Kinsley died. The 1829 specimen book led James Puckett to develop the beautiful ornamental didone fat face Sybarite (2011), which comes in many optical weights.
