The Monotype Specimen Book of Type Faces: A Complete Catalog of Matrices Made for Use with the Monotype Composing Machine, and with Type and Rule Caster (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century printing technology, specifically focusing on the Monotype composing machine. The author, through a detailed and informative analysis of the machine's intricate matrix system, reveals the revolutionary impact it had on the printing industry. The book delves into the mechanics of the machine, exploring its ability to create individual typefaces, leading to a near-limitless range of font combinations and typographic possibilities. Beyond its technical focus, the book also sheds light on the broader cultural and economic context of the printing industry during this era. It highlights the Monotype's role in shifting the balance of power between hand compositors and machine-based printing, ultimately changing the way printed materials were produced and consumed. The book's emphasis on the "flexible matrix system" and its ability to create both high-quality and cost-effective printing demonstrates the machine's versatility and its potential to meet the diverse needs of the printing market.
