英文简介:
The book tells the Letraset story from its early days as a difficult-to-use wet system, to its glory years as the first truly democratic alternative to professional typesetting.
The book also looks at Letraset's present-day revival amongst a new set of admirers who recognise the typographic excellence of the system's typefaces.
The book's design is by the Spin team of Tony Brook and Claudia Klat. It uses many rare specimens from Letraset's past – catalogues, press ads, mailers, storage units, and of course, sheets of classic Letraset typefaces.
