ABOUT







Mimeograph

The mimeograph utilized a porous drum which inked the backside of a waxed stencil sheet. Unlike traditional stencils which have cut out areas that are directly inked or painted, a mimeo stencil has the area to be printed scratched away by removing the wax coating with a stylus.

Digital fonts based on the plastic lettering templates of the mimeograph include

  • Mimeograph Lettering JNL (2020, Jeff Levine: based on one of the numerous plastic lettering templates once manufactured by the A.B. Dick Company of Chicago).
  • Mimeograph Template JNL (2019: based on a plastic lettering guide manufactured by the Albert Blake Dick Company of Chicago).
  • Interoffice Memo (2011, Jeff Levine).
