ATF OUT OF CONTROL?

Vote Democratic to preserve this demonic fascist state of affairs! But wait, this is Little Rock, home base for the Clintons? Hmmm.......

[dosesofcommonsense]

Sounds like a department on the DOGE chopping block.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

**We have laws (& 3 amendments) and police. Why do we need the ATF, who also makes separate unofficial/not real laws to legislate against the citizens?

There’s evil

Typography Tuesday

American Type Founders (ATF), established in 1892 with the merger of 23 type foundries, was the predominant producer of metal type in America for the first 50 years of its existence, and remained influential in the industry almost until its closing in the early 1990s. In its heyday, this conglomeration of foundries produced about 85 percent of all type manufactured in the United States at the time. As a behemoth type manufacturer, it also had most of the nation's top type designers producing original typefaces for the foundry, including Will Bradley, Frederic Goudy, Oz Cooper, T.M. Cleland, and the prolific Morris Fuller Benton, who was also the head of the ATF design department.

This ATF type specimen book, Book of American Types, published in 1934 presents some of the "Standard Types" offered by ATF. As the Preface notes:

During the last decade there has been a period of experimental effort in typography the influence of which at times has carried us a long way from the traditional past. . . . No type specimen book can ever be complete in the strictest sense. As printing proceeds, new designs enter the early stages of preparation. Alphabets from leading artists and from our own pre-eminent staff of designers are being continually studied in the effort to anticipate style trends. . . . Change is inherent in progress and every effort will be made to have these separate specimens reflect the most recent trends while at all times maintaining the highest typographic standards.

This statement, along with the title and the name of the corporation, place an emphasis on the spirit of progressivism during the interwar period, as well as the exceptionalism of American initiative and design. But as the display of the Broadway Series of type (designed by Benton in the late 1920s) reminds us, "Herds Ignore Granted Delusions." Our copy of Book of American Types is another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.
