This typecase configuration matches the Ronde Bas de Casse of Lefevre: Guide Practique du Compositeur d'Imprimerie 1880, and is used for the script face called Ronde.. It is a variation of the upper case of e.g. Fertel, with only six rows, as opposed to the usual seven rows of: Moxon et al, but this case also has more boxes in each row.. Because of all the extra ligatures etc, needed for the script face, the case has 108 boxes in total, and needs a further 70 boxes in the companion Upper case.

The type lay is Ronde Bas de Casse and the companion Upper lay is Ronde Haut de Casse.
