This wasn’t new territory for Phil, who had visited Robert DeLittle’s wood letter factory in the mid-1970s. These photos were commissioned John McConnell of Face Photosetting for a small booklet announcing the licensing of some of DeLittle’s fonts.

It was a privilege that Philip Sayer, whose photography I’ve admired for years, agreed to document the Type Archive before its closure. His rich images really capture the atmosphere and are a huge asset to the book.

The Type Archive was a complicated place but it was a simple observation from a guest that inspired the organisation of the book’s contents.
He commented that it was interesting to see how many materials a letter design passed through on its journey to the printed page.

Remembering Sue Shaw, founder and formidable driving force of @thetypearchive, on what would have been her 90th birthday. Much missed!🖤

A cancelled export order in 1996 left York wood type maker Robert DeLittle with 7,200 pieces of immaculate Sinhalese type for sale. There do not appear to have been any takers for this bargain, some of which survives at the Type Archive in Stockwell.
