Monotype

Tolbert Lanston’s composing machine that cast individual sorts; under Stanley Morison the company issued Gill Sans, Times New Roman and many historical typefaces.

Tolbert Lanston invented a typesetting machine that cast individual sorts, which made corrections easier than with Linotype's whole lines. The Lanston Monotype Corporation in London became the standard of the book industry.

Stanley Morison led the typography and had historical typefaces such as Bembo made, as well as new ones such as Gill Sans and Times New Roman. Monotype moved to digital type, bought Linotype and is now one of the world's largest type companies.
