ATF kit

‘Features over 100 cards with specimens from the 1951 type catalog, showcasing dozens of fonts in their various weights and point sizes.’

American Type Founders
was the largest metal type company in the world. They came to an end in 1993 in an ill-planned bankruptcy auction.

Tons of type history (literally) were melted down for scrap. Many records and original drawings were destroyed.
