These results show that it is feasible to recognise font groups automatically. The authors are currently working on improving accuracy further and to expand the scope of the recognition tool from the 15th to the 16th-18th century. At the same time preliminary steps are taken to recognise not only font groups but exact fonts. This feature would not only make it much quicker to date and identify the printer of early modern books based on their fonts but also make this procedure much more accessible to scholars who are not highly specialised in analytical bibliography.
