WHAT DOES LETTER MEAN IN GERMAN?

letter

Types of letters or types of print are typefaces which bear on the head the sublime, mirror-inverted image of a character. They are compiled by hand or mechanically to form a record, which is transferred to paper in high pressure, usually with crucible pressure presses. Since the photo set has been established, letters are only occasionally used in letterpress printing and blind embossing. Due to the required hardness and longer service life, blind perforation seals are made of brass or harder lead alloys. Letters consist of letter metal, an alloy of, for example, Eg 67% lead, 28% antimony and 5% tin, sometimes also some copper. The main component of lead gives the "stuff" the softness and formability, tin ensures a good connection of the individual metals and a corresponding toughness. Copper increases the hardness and resilience of the font. Antimony ensures that no voids occur because it expands when solidifying. Large letters from 48 points, Eg for posters, have also been milled because of the enormous weight of wooden and plastic handles.
