Abstract Ismar David initiated the design of his comprehensive Hebrew typeface family in Jerusalem, in the 1930s. It is considered to be the first Hebrew multi-style family and consists of nine variations that show many innovative features that were never seen in earlier designs. Starting with a historical overview of the typographic environment in the state of Israel around the time it is was declared in 1948, this dissertation looks into the means of design and production of printed matter needed for the construction of a new nation.

  • Sa Chronology Of
    s A Chronology of Typographical Pantographs Dr. David M. MacMillan Abstract The history of the development and use of pantographic techniques in the making of metal printing type has never been recounted either com- prehensively or accurately. This is a first step, necessary but necessarily incomplete: a raw chronology of events, together with references to the sources of our knowledge. 1 ◆ Introduction While it is beyond question that the mechanization of the making of punches, patrices, and matrices for metal letterpress printing types in the late 19th century was one of the most important events in the history of type, most accounts of this are inadequate. They tend to oversimplify both history and technology and to reduce a complex technological transition to a myth of a lone genius. Moreover, most narratives today are seriously in- accurate in their details and their understanding of the technologies. They conflate different methods of type-making and often leave out important methods entirely. As a result, this is perhaps the least well understood of all of the technological transformations that have shaped our world. This chronology is not a complete analysis of this history; it’s justa first step. It lays out all of the presently known events in this history in order to provide a better, and better documented, context. It also identifies events which are still recounted as a part of this history but which never really happened. This Chronology also includes non-typographical pantographs, partic- ularly in its early sections. The purpose of this is to counter the tendency in typographical history to see the adaptation of pantographic technology to metal type-making as something that happened in isolation.
