Lanston Type Company

A Legacy in Typography: Lanston Type's Evolution

Origins & Revolution in Typesetting: In 1887, Tolbert Lanston patented his groundbreaking mechanical typesetting device. This innovation was the genesis of the Monotype casting machine, propelling the Lanston Monotype Company to global acclaim. Until then, typesetting remained largely unchanged since Gutenberg's hand-set movable type.

Global Reach & Key Figures: By the late 19th century, Lanston expanded internationally by licensing its technology to a UK-based counterpart. During America's typographic golden age, Frederic Goudy, a leading type designer, served as Lanston's art director (1920-1947). Though the Philadelphia-based Lanston Monotype eventually became distinct from its UK peer (which was thereafter known simply as "Monotype"), its influence remained unshaken.

Acquisitions & Relocation: 1969 marked Lanston's acquisition by the American Type Founders. Following various ownership transitions, master printer Gerald Giampa acquired the company in 1988 and relocated it to Prince Edward Island. Despite these changes, Lanston continued to cater to America's monotype hot metal type demands until a tidal wave tragically destroyed most of the company's assets in 2000.

Digital Age & Modern Stewardship: Gerald Giampa, an early pioneer in PostScript fonts, channeled his energy into digitization post-tragedy. Under his guidance, Lanston's iconic typefaces were digitized, preserving their original essence from the brass and lead patterns. After several relocations between Canada and Finland, Lanston found a new home in 2004 with the US-based P22 type foundry. As Giampa set sail as a ship's captain in the northern Pacific, he remained a typographic consultant for Lanston-P22 during his maritime breaks.
