adydog Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Does anyone know if there's a PDF or online version available of any of the old Letraset catalogs, as I can't find one anywhere. If not, I shall have to get busy scanning my 1989 copy. Link to comment
Ryan Maelhorn Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Maybe this: http://www.sanskritweb.net/fontdocs/letraset.pdf Link to comment
idiotcountry Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You should probably scan the 1989 catalogue. Just to be safe. Link to comment
adydog Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks. I did find the sanskritweb PDF, but as you are probably aware, it doesn't show the full founts. Perhaps I should scan my copy for prosterity's sake, plus it may be of interest to some of you Typophiles out there. Watch this space !!! Link to comment
HVB Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 adydog: Are you looking for a catalog of Letraset's digital fonts or something earlier - such as a rub-on catalog? I have a 2002-dated Fontek .pdf in a FILE labeled "complete Letraset fonts". It has three pages of short embedded font samples (the font names, mostly) and 50 pages of full font samples (all as outlines) - Herb VB Link to comment
adydog Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Herb: It was a digital version of the transfer sheet catalogue that I was really after. I have a hard copy, but I thought it would also be beneficial to have a scanned version as well. It can be a very useful reference point. For instance, I discovered during one 'hunt', that a font named PALANA by Alan Withers, has never (to my knowledge) been digitised, plus there are some subtle differences in other cuts as well.... Typophile gold !!! Anyway, it needs to be done before I spill coffee all over it, or in my old age, involuntary dribbling starts occurring ;-) Adrian Link to comment
Ryan Maelhorn Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Here's one from 2011, but it's like 95% magic markers, and only 5% "Instant Lettering" http://www.paleda.se/download/Letraset%202011.pdf Link to comment
cuttlefish Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I have a copy or two of the Letraset catalog from the mid to late '80s somewhere in my archives. One day I'll dig it out. I think there's a Chartpak catalog in there too. Link to comment
John Cole Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Old Letraset Catalogues come up for sale on Gumtree. I have a 1970 catalogue on sale now. You won't find any digitised for some reason. Link to comment
