More lost type: PLINC is back!
Back in the day, Photo-Lettering Inc. was THE resource for custom set hedline typography, odd letter distortions and other custom font creations that were made possible by the new technology of the time, phototypesetting.
Since, PLINC’s original stock has been sitting in a warehouse. Just sitting. With the elements of time eating up the original negatives.
Several years ago, House bought rights to the collection and set about building an online version of PLINC’s original services – where type is sold one custom set headline at a time. PLINC fonts – which included a lot of ligatures and alternate characters – needed a professional typesetter at the helm.
Today, after years in development, low cost custom hedline type is now available digitally at the new PLINC website. One hed at a time . . . .
PLINC’s original catalogs are now collectors items (From GrainEdit, above) and House has responded with their own funky update (below).
To register for your own catalog, just go here, explore some phototype history and have fun making heds.
