Overview
The Howard 18pt News Gothic Type is a specialized reference or tool component for the Howard Imprinting Machine, showcasing the clean, bold elegance of the News Gothic typeface in 18-point size. Published by the historic Howard Imprinting Machine Co. in 1998, this item is ideal for collectors, typographers, printmakers, and vintage equipment enthusiasts.
The News Gothic font, widely celebrated for its clarity, legibility, and classic sans-serif structure, has been a staple in typesetting since the early 20th century. This binding may contain either a sample catalog, instruction manual, or typographic matrix set related to hot-stamp printing or metal typesetting—common to Howard's imprinting systems.
Due to its unusual binding and weight, this product may also be a technical or production tool rather than a conventional book, making it especially relevant for hands-on use in custom foil stamping or letterpress work.
