I’m very proud of this article I wrote for the Fall 2019 issue #4 of Type Magazine about a woman who still uses a vintage Morisawa phototypesetting machine from the ‘60s in her business in Japan. She’s inspiring me to experiment with using older printing machines! 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3z1w1_ged8/?igshid=s3j2ga96d3b6

Phototypesetting with the Berthold “diatype”

The Berthold “diatype” was a phototypesetting machine introduced around 1960. This video, shot at the printing museum Pavillon-Presse in Weimar, Germany explains how this device works.

My father, at De Montfort University in the 80s, with a Linotype computer typesetting machine. He was a consultant to Oxford University on the subject, and wrote machine and assembly code that enabled devices otherwise unconnected at the time to communicate with each other.
