Letraset: a Bit of Context

[dewline]

This book, Letraset: the DIY Typography Revolution, would've been a fun birthday present to get. If I'd known it existed or was going to exist. I first learned of Letraset thanks to high school art classes. It was a revelation about type design, as I had NO CLUE that people designed typefaces for a living. I just knew there were all these different ways of reworking the look of the alphabet, no idea about the infrastructure behind that.

The Letraset catalogues gave me context for those signs on Moonbase Alpha in the first season of Space: 1999 and so much that came before and since then.

I remember Letraset! It was how I learned typography.
