Excerpt from Hillard's Primer: Edited, in Pronouncing Orthography

But its essential features may be seen in this book. While the common spelling is preserved unchanged, the pronunciation of each word is exactly indicated. This is done by using a special form of a letter for each sound of it, and printing the silent or unsounded letters in a lighter type.

If the light letters seem too light to the eye accustomed to our Roman print, they are not too light for the learner, who needs to distinguish them as silent letters. No time or pains has been spared to secure the best forms of letters and make the best use of them, so that they may be sufficiently distinct for the learner, with out changing materially the familiar aspect of the word or page.
