Type design late 1950's 19
While cleaning out an old portfolio I ran across a paste-up of a typeface that my husband designed. He would work on an alphabet, then paste the individual letters on a board with reduction instructions for the printer. The printer would print a volume of sheets that I would use to paste up words for display headings that would be reduced to whatever size would be needed to use in a mechanical.
The old-fashion way of having a typeface in display sizes to use when nothing was available, all long, long before Fontographer.
I laminated the whole sheet to use as a teaching aid when I taught typography classes and it got such heavy use that the laminating material is pealing off.
