LUDLOW
We show just a very few of the Ludlow fonts we we can access for casting metal
lines or as it is known in the industry Hot Type or Ludlow slugs. Hot
Stamping Dies Slugs for Names or Monograms. Pres Set Lines of type read to drop in
your machine and start printing. When you need just one line of 72pt type set or
a entire job Ludlow is a great option. We have a lot of great faces so you can order
that one large line (ie 72pt) you want to use with your 18 point hand set font and
you don't have to buy the entire font of 72 pt type to complete your book binding,
scrap book or letterpress printing job. This saves you money and opens the door
for greater creativity in your designs.
Leads and Slugs
Leads and slugs are, strip of spacing material, made of type metal that are used for
line spacing. We cast Leads and Slugs in several thicknesses ranging from 2 to
36 point. Those less than 6 points are called leads. Those from 6 to 18 point are
called slugs. You can find more information about Leads and Slugs under the
Learning About Type and Type and Line Spacing sections in this wed-site.
We still can manufacture many of the hundreds of fonts that have been produced over
the past 100+ years; so, if you don't see what you are looking for please

stamping and hope we have sparked an interest in you to learn more about these arts.
