Display (1.0") size matrices for Times New Roman (Typeface Series number: 327), 30. In original wooden box no. 1365, manufactured by Monotype Corporation. Part of Monotype Loan Library collection. As well as manufacturing machines that composed and cast type, The Monotype Corporation manufactured matrices for hundreds of different designs of typefaces in metal. From a set of matrices the owner of a Monotype machine could cast as much fresh type as they needed. Monotype built up a remarkable collection of typefaces for hot-metal technology, starting in 1900 and adding to it until the early 1980s. Each Monotype typeface was allocated a series number and a name. Type came in points (pt) and continental standard Didot (D) sizes from as small as 4 ¼ pt and as large as 72pt or 72D. Type that was 14pt and larger was known as display size because of its suitability for setting as headings and titles as opposed to continuous text.
