Typography Tuesday
The Ludlow Typograph is the overlooked younger cousin of the Monotype and Linotype type casting systems. Letterpress printers Steven and Meryl Chayt set out to demonstrate that the Ludlow is perfectly suitable to the production of fine press publications with their 1986 Anachronic Editions book A Ludlow Anthology printed in Winter Haven, Florida in an edition of 100 signed by the Chayts.
Here we show some presentations of Ludlow Ornaments and modern Ludlow typefaces from the book. The typefaces Stellar and Stygian Black were designed in 1929 by American designer and art director for The Ladies' Home Journal William E. Fink. Ultra Modern was designed in 1928 by Ludlow Typogragh typography director Douglas C. McMurtrie.
Our copy of A Ludlow Anthology is part of a gift from the estate of our dear friend Dennis Bayuzick.
