What's in a type?

There are different ways throughout history that people have 'typed' or transferred letters onto another surface. They are:

• Carving by hand with paints, inks, or tools

• Handwriting by pen, pencil, or other colored writing tool

• Typesetting with metal or wood on a stick

• Letter pressing using ink to transfer from raised surface to paper

• Typography using computers with software that is vector or raster image/text/graphic based

• Lettering using chalk, crayons, colored pens or markers
