Newly digitized Doves Type font designer finds old lead type in the Thames

Skilled Workman Posted on February 23, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 25, 2015

Here’s a fun article from CreativePro about the process. Many people do not realize that a lot of the “free type” and a good deal of the professionally designed type is made from or started with digitized characters from printed works using old letterpress fonts outside of the copyright period (normally pre-1940, at this point, in most cases).

Typography: Type has nothing to do with typing

Skilled Workman Posted on March 21, 2012 by David BergslandMarch 21, 2012
