The typecase is the most common storage for a fount of handset type, because it is available instantly for typesetting. Just pull the case partway out of its cabinet, or place it on top, and the full range of characters is accessible.
This is a very common typecase layout. It is a combination case, providing for capitals and lower case as well as punctuation etc.. It is often called a Californian typecase or a jobbing typecase, as distinct from a pair of typecases. Where only a modest quantity of type is required, having the whole fount in one case is very convenient. The right-hand third of the case carries the upper-case characters and the rest is the equivalent of the traditional lower case.
