Mil­lions of words, in thou­sands of news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines, are print­ed and read dai­ly. All over the world news is nec­es­sary to the eve­ry­day rou­tine of many mil­lions of peo­ple. The pub­lic ap­pe­tite for news is enor­mous, and the man who nev­er reads a news­pa­per is news him­self. Type de­signs for this im­por­tant area of print­ing are a class in them­selves. To sur­vive the ef­fects of ster­e­o­typ­ing and high-speed ro­ta­ry print­ing the type face must be stur­dy, and free from thin lines and del­i­cate ser­ifs. It must be de­signed with due re­gard for the ten­den­cy of thin inks to col­lect in the sharp an­gles and nar­row open­ings.
