“Pencil to Pixel” provided insight into the work of both Monotype and Linotype, from the formation of the two companies more than a century ago to their present, and even took a look into their future. Their major influence on typographic developments in the various epochs was considered, including the role they played in historical transitions in the USA. The exhibition, which ran from 3 to 9 May, was an unqualified success. Visitors also had the opportunity to attend talks by some of the leading lights of the typographic world, such as Alan Kitching, Ilene Strizver, Ellen Shapiro, James Calfo and Ed Benguiat. Many remarkable contemporary and historical artefacts were on display.
