This volume documents the rise of Letraset, the dry-transfer lettering system that fundamentally altered the landscape of twentieth-century graphic design. By providing accessible, professional-grade typography to a wide audience, the medium catalyzed a shift toward DIY production and experimental visual communication. Through extensive archival research and expert analysis, the book examines how this analog technology bridged the divide between traditional typesetting and modern design practice.
