Rub downs

Can anyone remember Letraset and other dry-transfer type? A few years ago, I threw away hundreds of sheets of it, which I now regret. Younger designers might find this type of lettering funny, perhaps even informative. Technology has, after all, always influenced design, if not defined it.

Friends in The Hague gave me a few sheets of transfer type featuring LoType, which I had never seen before. The manufacturer obviously didn’t have a license contract with me, or they might have spelled my name right.
