Abstract/Summary

An exhibition of material from the Non-Latin Type Collection, Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading. This exhibition of newspapers, dating from the early twentieth century up to the present, visually encapsulated the transition of newspaper composition methods from metal to digital type. The selected documents, drawn from the Non-Latin Type Collection at the University of Reading, exhibited the textual representation of a wide range of languages for the dissemination of news during a period that witnessed profound technological changes in composing and type-making practices. Co-curated by Fiona Ross and Vaibhav Singh.
