pica is a size of type face, but I don't know where aticus (or atticus?) fits in.

2 D. Pica also means a magpie but I don't know if a magpie is the same as a finch (the 'Aticus' probably refers to Atticus Finch).

Quite a different family, malone!

Magpies are crows.

Me too, John.
I know a "bit" is slang for an American coin.
And I have heard of "two-bit"? A quarter?
Could be on the wrong track, though!

The "w" in two-bit is a quarter. West?
Remove it and we have Tobit?
