Design in the 1950's
How we used display type back in 1959.
I cut out the letters for the word Russo from a printed sheet of type that my husband designed, then pasted it up with directions for the reduction size for the mechanical.
A very low cost project for artist Mike Russo, Portland, Oregon.
The roughest cheap paper stock, calligraphy for the text (no expense for set type), paste-up heading for the word Russo to be placed in the mechanical, and printed in one color. It was paste-up-paste-up etc. I bought rubber cement and thinner by the gallon.
