tif and fontes

Posted on July 8th, 2010 by steve

‘Tipoteca Italiana is a private foundation that was founded in 1995 to advance printing knowledge and preserve venerable printing technologies. Its founder, Silvio Antiga, a 65-year-old printer who owns a printing firm in the Veneto region, has collected more than 20 vintage presses and typesetting machines, along with hundreds of wood and metal type ‘fonts”

From T Magazine, Steven Heller looks at the incredible Tipoteca (tif) and where the term ‘font’ comes from.

I haven’t been there, but a friend visited several years ago – and brought me a whole bunch of really cool ephemera.
