Typography in Wood

by Dominique Carré

The first wooden letters for typographic reproduction on posters were craft-produced in the 18th century. Their use spread with the expansion of commercial advertising in the 1820s; production was mechanized and new types with increased visibility were created. In addition to dated products, series of surprisingly "modern" types were developed that could be com-pared with those generated by the "new" digital typography.
