I wasn’t sure where to begin with this research point as most of the history of Typography is new to me. I looked a little into ‘Linotype Machines’ and how that came into being but was more interested in an a more unique area. I really like the style of neon or illuminated lights you see in America, think above a Diner or Motel and wanted to explore how they got their lettering and what effect if any it had on the development of type…
